Open the bottle and, after a whiff of what may be raw potato, there is a rather pleasing aroma. I wouldn't drink this neat, but add some tonic and you feel like you are drinking a true spirit. A little fiery kick from what I presume is chilli simulates the vodka fire and there is a lingering aftertaste that is quite satifying. I've never been one for vodka, but this I like very much.

Another bold aroma Strykks again. This time it's a robust sweetness that embraces your nose like a long lost eskimo cousin. Now I must confess I didn't have any coca-cola in the house so added some tonic instead. I love how taste and smell can evoke powerful memories. Strykk Not Rum took me back to Christmas parties at my grandparents' house, front door welcoming all and tipples accompanied by mountains of rich, home-baked delights. I can't wait to begin experimenting with this in cocktails!

Is that sage? I asked my wife when I uncorked this (I do like the cork top by the way - nice touch). However, whilst there is sage and corriander there, I finally figured out it was basil that was coming through both the aroma and the taste. Not just any old basil mind you, freshley cut basil with added morning dew. Quite how they've done that, I really don't know. Now, I have to make a judgement here. I was expecting juniper as this is a gin substitute. On that level, this didn't meet me half way. However, as an interesting alternative to G&T, I'll take this over many others. It's bold and keen to impress and gives a real feel of holding a good drink in your hand.
