Tasting Notes
Tongue burn and then flavor disappears fast. Bit of cranberry.
Think, rich and tasty with a slight burn on finish. Water really opens it up and smooths our a few rough ends.
She’s a fiery beast. Possibly made in a bathtub. Tough to compare to the previous gem, but a little tough to wrap my tongue around.
Spicy. Anise. Soothes my ailments. Tingle tongue.
Holy moly
Spicy, better with water
Easy, sweet charcoal scent. Distractingly hot without water. Smells kind of like new band aids. Flavor improves a lot with water.
