Not a purchase, at least not by me, but a gift from a friend who knows I like odd spirits. This one does indeed fit that category. It was apparently sourced from Uzbekistan and I presume made there as well. But that is about all I know.

Cork broke as soon as I tried to remove it so it has been transferred to a new bottle. But it makes an interesting enough display on its own. Spirit inside is a dark brown spirit with a rich herbal , earthy, mild to moderate bitter character but very hard to pin down exactly what. Pretty sure it is not a brandy so I presume it to be a neutral grain/vodka base. The person who bought it had no clue what it was and the label is of little help to me! What little of the words I can read is of no help and my Cyrillic is a little rusty...

 

Anybody here have any idea exactly what this might be?
