I'm outta Budapest

[vernon]

The cycling is about to start. My departure was delayed by a day because of a 22 hour heavy downpour. I toasted the deluge with copious amounts of the national spirit, Unicum. The distillery was surprised to get a second visit from me in 24 hours. They gave me a discount !!

Will you be able to bring some Unicum home, i'm not convinced that the name will have people grabbing the bottle. Looks like a fab place.

 

[vernon]

The alternative name for Unicum is Zwack.

Zwack sounds lush

The old eastern bloc love a bit of sour cough medicine, Becherovka and Slivovice are the same. Vile!

Did you spit or swallow?

Zwack Unicum is disgusting.

Having drank nearly a litre of the stuff I have to disagree. Currently carrying a further litre of it and a bottle of absinthe for good measure.

No sign of pies though....

Unicum means unique. 40 herbs 40% alcohol. A bitter version of Jaegermeister. It's a man's drink.

Thanks, I will look out for it. Jaeger and redbull was the end of me on my stag night many years ago, it had a familiar taste to Covonia
