Make Mine a Double

In my opinion Blue Nun and is bit like Black tower it is either what you started out drinking when you were 15 and hide behind the sofa taking cheeky swigs out of it when no one was looking ( or was that just me). Or else is the doggie offering either a cheap skate or someone with actually no tastes buys you…. sorry but come on. But it still does make me smile when I see it at the offie or someone in front of me has it in their basket. So where does Blue nun come from? The name even makes me smile I imagine all there saintly nuns getting smashed in the monastery.
Blue Nun is German dates back to the 1920’s. It label; and name was seen as more commercially friendly and alternative to German existing ones with Gothic script and long, names. In the 80’s can you believe it sold over 1.25 million cases… but then the 80’s didn’t exactly breath taste and class now did they!
