Agwa de Bolivia, Coca Herbal Liqueur

3.7.22 Served: Neat Flute Bottle Open: 2 Months Aroma: Mostly tar and rubber. Some earthy and green pepper notes, along with freshly opened plastic bag. Finishes with crushed mint. and spent lime. Flavor: Light-medium sweetness. Starts green and planty, mids woody, finishes spicy. Overall pretty unpleasant at this point. Less unpleasant when chilled, but would choose to drink water most of the time over this.

2.7.22 Served: Big Rock Bottle Open: 1 Month Aroma: Fruity and Vegetal. Flavor: Light in sweetness and body. Before dilution: Generally minty vegetal, and spicy. After dilution: Fruity up front. Mids with green sage, like biting down on a whole leaf. Lingering spicy and mouth-drying finish.

If you want to try something a bit different, then try this liquor. Taste is fresh, it is worth trying, but not for casual drinking.

Thin body and lightly sweet, vegital and a little citrus and mint on finish. Does taste like sweetened coca leaves in light ethanol. Needs a plain base alcohol (and maybe a little lime) in cocktails for its vegital minty flavor to stand out-- vodka, champagne, club soda. Interesting, but not compelling.
