Tasting Notes
"A couple of whiffs reveal sweet corn cereal and maple syrup notes with a classic unaged-spirit aromas of rubbing alcohol and petrol aroma. More petrol dominates the palate, nearly overpowering the perfumed essences of the grains and sugar with some grassy herbaceousness. The finish is incredibly hot. "
