I completely missed this post earlier but I would definitely be interested in this if and when it happens. Would likely just do a 1 ounce sample. Cheers! ---

I’ve had this up for a year now and there just doesn’t seem to be enough US activity here to organize bottle shares. I’m just going to close the this bottle share. Sorry, guys. ---

I ended up opening the bottle outside of a bottle split. If anyone still wants a sample, it’s now offered through my Samples Offered post: [https://community.rumx.com/t/us-ca-xasmx-sample-list/14871](https://community.rumx.com/t/us-ca-xasmx-sample-list/14871)
