Adding a drop of water makes it taste like a higher prod.

Tasted side-by-side with the regular expression. Wow, what a difference it makes going from 43% to 53%. All those intriguing flavors just fill the mouth such that I’d probably never consider purchasing the watered-down version, despite the price jump. The same tangy lemon, sandalwood, orange-blossom honey, and exotic florals pair nicely with a subtle sweetness and drying bitter note. Definitely a touch of salinity. I found myself thirsty for more after every sip. I enjoyed the experience but would have to revisit to decide how I feel versus other options at the price point. Intriguing and worth a taste if you get the chance.
