You know it's niche when there are only two reports on erowid: https://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_2Methyl2Butanol....

Hehe, lol. True. You'd probably find a bit more info on some of the forums dedicated to "legal highs" from a few years back, and maybe on bluelight. I don't think it ever became popular. This is probably a really good thing because of the apparent low dose you might need to accidentally kill yourself.

Given that you'd be using an eyedropper to add this alcohol to your Coke, would it impart any perceptible taste to the beverage?

True!

I did read something about a guy who had used it to make 'vodka', by adding a few ml to enough water that a shot would have a similar effect to ethanol-based spirits. At the concentration the report said there was a sort of minty-chemical. I would imagine further dilutions with a mixer would hide that.

I think you're onto something. Go make the next billion-dollar company :-)
