The reason truffles are considered a delicacy isn't because of the way they taste on their own or how they allegedly bring out the underlying flavors of a dish by providing a boring one-dimensional flavor as a backdrop—it's because they're impossible to cultivate, requiring specially-trained pigs to sniff them out beneath the tree roots under which they grow. And there is none more valuable, more delectable, more sought-after than the white truffle, which gives this stain its name. White Truffle is named for two things: its flavor, and the frosting of trichomes that makes its round nugs look like big puffy truffles. Sauce on the Rocks is one of Dr. Jolly's terpier extracts, and the earthy scent of skunk and garlic certainly is reminiscent of the real deal—but that's not why we like it. The best thing about White Truffle is how it makes you feel. It starts with a euphoric, cerebral head rush that will inject some spontaneity into your day, giving you new exciting ideas for what to do next. While your mind is distracted, your body will start to sink into a peaceful and relaxing stone that will keep you on that track.
