NeandertalDark5.01 ratingI couldn't wait, though. It should have sat another day before I tried it, but I still LOVE it! It has the most raw, green, woody accords; I definitely get a bit of juniper shining through, and I'm so happy that I took the plunge on a bigger bottle. This is gonna be a minimum of one day a week wear, probably more often.

Yippie for the Neandertal love!! I’ve really grown to love this entire collection, dark is such a great pick up!

It is! I'm convinced it's gonna get nothing but better!

How does the bottle feel in your hand? I’m not sure about chonk bottles lol
Alaric@alaric
Definitely chonky, but I was a lil' worried at first as my fingers felt what seemed like a chip - turned out to just be a QR code decal xD

As you can see, the 30mL looks a lot bigger by itself - added my hand for perspective xD

I went to grad school for paleoarchaeology; I've been dying to try this brand. The bottles are gorgeous, so en theme

What's interesting about the bottle is that it's clearly intended to display with the cap facing down (which would also extend the life of the juice by reducing the surface area exposed to the air in the bottle), but no stand is supplied. I'm probably gonna find a nice bit of burl, stain it, and drill a 22mm hole in it.

I love a custom bottle, but hate when there is no stand. I have V.6 Ecstasy, also does not come with a stand and does not lay down well either. I found a guy on Etsy who will 3D print a custom stand for any bottle, but you have to send him the bottle so I haven't done it. I hope your idea for a holder works. Since it's literally modeled after a stone tool, you could probably get a small display stand off Amazon or something that's made to display those kinds of objects. I have a few at home that display some stone tools I've made/bought
