Revenge of Genghis

Last night I was drinking a Mongolian baijiu distilled from fermented mare's milk.

Not as icky as it sounds. In fact, I was very pleasantly surprised. It's a pure, clear liquid, slightly sweet and very smooth, with just a hint of creaminess about it (in both flavour and mouth-feel). And none of the abrasiveness or the pungent aftertaste - that can transform a burp into a gag - which mars most baijiu.

However, I have to say, this morning (this afternoon) I have a very bad headache. I would almost say I had a hangover.
