the Cointreau change was some time ago .
I remember bottles from the '70's
( I think ) that were USA
and quite different than the French , which you could not get
then in USA
of note :
i also feel , w consolidation of liquor and cordials over time
by conglomerates ( yes , Remy is not today the Remy of
the not too distant past )
bean counting , and cost pinching , and label changes
have dumbed it down quite a bit.
Whisky ages in port barrels ? tequila barrels ?
might be interesting
but it detracts from the original version
which through cost control ,
is n9t the same
