Reviewed October 9, 202012: Hmm, this is sweet, creamy, and tasty. The cream flavor is there and it tastes authentic. There is some alcohol, which could be whiskey or could be rum since it has plenty of cinnamon and vanilla mixed with toffee but also mixed with some fireworks and hints of cloves. There's a little bit of an eggnog vibe to it, but what do you expect from Horchata? Ultimately, it's surprisingly tasty and doesn't add any clearly bad notes. It's worth a try. The texture is more watery than that of Bailey's. The flavor is also substantially more like rubber tires. There is some nice spice and I appreciate the caramel sweetness, but it tastes like fake caramel that is made with way too much corn syrup (though it does also have a nice rich browned butter flavor). The taste of cinnamon rolls is hard to overlook here and is quite appealing, yet the individual ingredients taste of poor quality, so the result is a drink that tastes like low-grade (but not necessarily bad) cinnamon rolls. It costs the mouth like the residue from sugary breakfast cereal to an interesting and alarming extent. It's sweet and hedonistic as an alcoholic drink for kids, but it's kind of exactly that. It certainly isn't as good as Bailey's, though it is quite sweet with some nice spices flavor. That said, I don't particularly object to it. For the price, it's not worth it, but to turn down a free sip would be a poor choice.17.0 USD per Bottle
