Not notable. No evidence of awards or in depth coverage in independent reliable sources. The main refs are local interview-based pieces with no sign of independent fact checking or editorial review. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:41, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Stuart and others. Mystic is rapidly gaining a HUGE following in the Triangle and now in Charlotte and many outlying counties (something which we've avoided mentioning because it would come across as puffery). The local press has looked carefully at the company and product, and the press doesn't usually do a lot of independent reporting when there isn't any controversy over the facts. If you would delete Mystic, I would respectfully suggest that you would first need to delete such pages as Sweet Revenge (liqueur) and Hideous (liqueur) to name but a few. I would also suggest that there is intrinsic value in having regional specialties covered in a project with Wikipedia's scope, even if the U.S. national press hasn't gotten around to covering them before inclusion.Blitzlaw (talk) 00:50, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Sweet Revenge (liqueur) is already tagging as possibly not notable (the first step towards deletion) and I have just tagged Hideous (liqueur). Stuartyeates (talk) 01:21, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
