It is a serious divider of opinion. Some loath it, some adore it, few lie between. I utterly adore it.<br /><br />Rex is a core beer for them too, always available - not just some random special.<br /><br />They've also done xeRRex for years - a 10% version of the same. *DROOL*<br /><br />But I love my hugely peaty whisky too.

As it says on another bit of the label though, it's great for blending!
