Honestly pretty rough by itself, but it feels like it has real potential in a mocktail if paired with the right things. Made one with Orleans bitters and a homemade cranberry-rosemary-black pepper shrub and really liked it. But it’s definitely a challenging taste to pair, so if you don’t fancy yourself a real mixologist, this is probably a no-go. There’s a heavy, musty incense-and-dust note on the nose that overpowers everything else — mixed with lemon juice, that’s almost completely suppressed.
Update: eventually gave up on this one and poured it down the drain. Couldn’t figure out a good mocktail to make with it, and it’s definitely not something to drink on its own.
