Alcohol does show. Sweet - I totally get the corn vodka base. Juniper and cucumber are present. The finish lets some more bitter alcol through. Not as interesting as pacific Voyager, but interesting. The flavor is good side from the excessive, syrupy sweetness. Good, but not super complex. A good mixer and unobjectionable. It's a lot sweeter than the aged variant - likely too sweet. Whereas the aged version increases in complexity with sips, this declines.
About this bottle
Jeff Steichan and his wife Daleen opened Batch 206 Distillery in 2012 in Seattle, Washington. Using their vodka spirit as a base, they infuse eight botanicals (Juniper, Cucumber, Tarragon, Verbena Leaves, Lavender, Orange Peel, Meyer Lemon Peel, Orris Root) into it for 36 hours. Afterwards it is re-distilled to further integrate the botanical oils into the spirit.

Maybe good as a mixer with a light summer cocktail, kinda plain. One flavor seems to throw it off for me.
