First of all, it's baijiu. It's full of sorghum. These are very acquired tastes. That said, I like baijiu due to growing up with them. Having said that, once you get past the paint thinner, the nose opens up to cocoa, Asian pear, and overripe papaya. Taste is more chocolate and less fruit with a sweet mesquite-like smoke. Ultimately finishes like a dried longan. A pretty fun baijiu, IMO.
