👃 AROMA
Notes of ancient cellar, unwashed gizzard, and a surprising whisper of citrus panic.
A faint herbal undertone reminiscent of moss, oregano, and fear of making eye contact with the bottle too long.
Finish carries a soft waft of “Is something burning?”, which is entirely normal.
👅 PALATE
Opens with a bold burst of medicinal mystery, layered with hints of feral root, overripe mushroom, and whatever was near the still that day.
Mid-palate reveals subtle textures of smoke, damp leather, and a mild existential crisis.
The mouthfeel is unctuous, lingering, and occasionally confrontational.
🔥 FINISH
Long, winding, and unnecessarily intense.
Expect lingering flavors of tin, pepper, and regret softened by hope.
Leaves behind a warm glow in the chest, sometimes described as “pleasant,” “invigorating,” or “clinically interesting.”
🍽 PAIRINGS
Pairs well with:
Smoked gizzard tips
Pickled root clusters
Bread (preferably hard enough to be used as a weapon)
That one stew Gibby won’t tell anyone how he makes
Decisions you cannot undo
⚠️ SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Best enjoyed sitting down, lying down, or under medical supervision.
Chill in a bucket of ice, a cold stream, or the fearful silence before dawn.
Do not expose to open flame, strong magic, or people you’re trying to impress.
