Last week I 've started drinking my neutral spirit I have made.
The spirit came out from birdwatcher's recipy.
Every evening I have one or two drinks. The strange thing is that next morning , my mouth is so dry as I have cotton in it. If I drink any other bought spirit, there isn't such feeling. Has anyone ever feel the same?

Alcohol is a diuretic.
If to much alcohol is consumed, one can easily become dehydrated.
Since you only had a couple of cocktails I suspect your likker may be a little proofy. If not, then perhaps one of the chemists could chime in to explain if our clean likker is more likely to create this condition.
I, myself have not noticed this condition. But thats because I'm so tickled to wake up fresh as a daisey (except for that one time

).

High proof will do that...

Thanks for the answers, but I do not think it is the high proof. I have diluted it to 40 % and tested it with the alkoholmeter. And the fact is , I am not thirsty, only dry <<cotton>> mouth.

Well... As from my experience - it's not alcohol... It is sleeping with your mouth open

If there is no headache, eyes and face are not swollen, you're not thirsty, but your mouth is dry, then, I believe it is definitly the case I've mentioned

Did you strip off the foreshots?
But if you didn't you should be getting a massive hangover.

Add 1 tsp of glycerin per litre. No dry mouth.
