I'm officially hijacking this thread in the name of weird liquors (coctails are still fair game tho...always)
Greg gave me a bottle of Damiana (see https://www.damiana.net/) whilst cleaning Lynch Castle and the instant I laid eyes on it, I knew it was coming to the next festival with me.

Plus it's an aprodesiac! And Doc Lee, who is my partner in the Doc Lee & Gene Safety Meetings (I make a laminate every year) wasn't going to be at Cali Roots so I wasn't obligated to bring whiskey. This was perfect.
And it was. Everyone fully enjoyed it. Everyone was impressed and had great fun giving their opinions of the taste. It was sweet, definitely herbal, dangerously smooth. Benzilla said he's been growing damiana and he really liked it so I traded what was left of the bottle (nearly half) for the bottle he brought (a glenfiddich 12 which was nearly full). We were both satisfied with that because as fun as it was, I don't plan on drinking more damiana. Too sweet.
It gave me this idea to start drinking the weird liquors leftover in my dad's cabinet. I've started on Lakka, a Finnish cloudberry liquer. I've found the exact bottle on sale here https://www.oldspiritsandliqueurs.com/pr...s-btl-50cl

I'm almost done with it after a few weeks of Tues night shots. It's sweet, kinda nasty in a fruity way. Maybe it's gone bad...
