My First Experiences with Tanzania Konyagi and Waragi Uganda & TZS 468 Ln 0129 Konyagi Review

When I think about these two spirits and the role they’ve played in my life, I begin to chuckle.

The first time I ever got tipsy (at a cousin’s wedding function where we, the bridesmaids, were trying to pass for older than we really were), I was drinking Konyagi.

The first time I ever got drunk (forgive the unladylike admission 😉 ) was the summer before I started university after an evening spent sipping Uganda Waragi and Krest Bitter Lemon at ‘Half London’ in Kampala.

The Taste Test: Konyagi Tanzania vs. Uganda Waragi

To describe the taste of these two spirits to you, I could rely on memory.

For a more objective analysis, though, I decided to set up a taste test where I could pit these drinks against each other in a more direct way.

To do this, I mixed a cocktail of each spirit and tonic water in a two-to-five ratio (with no lime and no ice cubes), put them in two different glasses, conscripted a volunteer taster who would sample these beverages in a blind taste test, and set out to see how these two spirits truly compared.

konyagi and waragi — Konyagi (Tanzania) and Uganda Waragi

As I laid out the cocktails for the taste test, the first thing that my volunteer taster commented on was that the cocktails looked identical (which was to be expected since Uganda Waragi and Konyagi are both clear spirits).

We then began our test by smelling each cocktail.

Glass A, in my opinion had a stronger smell than Glass B, but my volunteer taster did not agree.

Oh well, we agreed to disagree and proceeded to taste each cocktail.
