Yarchagumba beverage

The first segment(Mostly not available on google search)

Occasions, Tips, alternates, cocktails, food pairings, SJ's Rating, Feel

SJ's Rating- Bottom Shelf

There are some things that are not worth the hype, and Yarchagumba beverage is one of them. It does not have the taste or character that a whisky lover desires. The bottom line, none of the other drinkers enjoyed it either. 

Occasion- Nepal visit

SJ's Pro tip- Try a sample before investing in the whole bottle

Alternates- Gurkha & guns Nepali whisky 

Cocktail- Try it with club soda to smoothen the harsh flavor

Food Pairing- Nepali snacks poleko momo, badel, chicken sekuwa

Feel(After Drinking)- Disgusted

The Second Segment(Technical details that are mostly available on google search)

The product story in the labeling -Yarchagumba is a legendary herbal substance that is found in the mountain pastures of Nepal at an altitude of 4000-5000 meters. 

It is a century-old, widely trusted medicinal herb, beneficial to people with various medical conditions. It is famously known as the Himalayan Aphrodisiac and is an anti-aging tonic that adds natural charm to the attainment of a long healthy life. 

Yarchagumba Health Beverage is a specifically formulated drink in which Yarchagumba has been blended with alcohol and multiple natural herbs to provide the most beneficial extract. 

Enough of the story, while there might be health benefits the taste is awful and it is not enjoyable.
