Don't remind me. A I have a croation friend who does homemade... I took the shotglass he offered and couldn't talk for a good chunk of the rest of the afternoon.
After that, I've refused sampling his wares unless it was the weekend. I've had 110 proof baijiu before but it never burned like this on the way down.
