Tasting Notes
"The aroma does not give a great first impression, as it initially smells of hot plastic and rubbing alcohol. These characters pass and the aroma becomes neutral. The palate follows suit, almost devoid of flavor. There are small notes of mineral oil, bits of grain, and a chemically clean finish. The best trait in this is its texture, a little viscosity makes for a warm and silky experience. Use this to bolster a lean cocktail."
