Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of banana pudding and hot peppers, smoked turkey jerky, pistachio sundae, sandalwood, and and menthol fire starter with a satiny, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a hot, interesting, long finish displaying notes of honey roasted tropical fruits, cherry bonbon, and slightly caramelized asian pear. A high-octane dram to light up spirit-forward cocktails.
