It was hard to find it in my neighborhood, but when I got information that a liquor store had started carrying it, I immediately bought it. On the first day, it had a slight Chinese herbal taste and a sharp aftertaste. The next day it mellows out and is delicious. For drinking at home.
I once attended a drinking party in Kochi and was surprised at how much more people drank than rumored. I was surprised at how much they drank. I was convinced. It also tastes good in moderate amounts. For home drinking.
