Review: Goog value - I doubt this item will warrant a 5 page review. It's purple and it burns. Works in my tangia meth burner. The price is reasonable and it was packaged well. In fact someone put reinforced box tape around the lid which helped in transit but crap to try and remove. Still better with it in.
Review: Hit The Spot - This was undoubtedly the single best bottle of Methylated Spirits I have ever ordered and I would highly recommend. Not only did the Spirit Arrive in super fast time, but after downing only one half of the bottle (Mixed with Chocolate Milkshake of Course - I'm no alky), I felt fantastic. In fact my wife kindly took a photograph, where you can clearly see that Barretine 500ml Methylated Spirits hit the spot. If I have one small criticism, I did suffer slightly from heartburn, the following day, though this could have been as a result of the pickled eggs, so I felt I shouldn't downgrade the star rating on that basis....Thanks to Barretine and I hope to order again soon, subject to funds being available :)
