On the nose it's HOT. Straight ethanol and red hots, almost overwhelmingly so. Over ice it develops more into char. On the palate, yep you guessed it, alcohol burn. There are hints of caramel and vanilla, but they are overtaken by the alcohol. At the end of the day, not a bad $30 bottle, but could use some refinement.

This is candy, baklava in a bottle for my burned out tongue though refined it is not
@angstrom 100%. A buddy of mine said to give it a shot, but it's not what I expected. Literally have to hold your nose to drink it neat, only drinkable on the rocks to tone it down. Might try a 114 and knob creek blend to see how that goes.
Agreed! I never quite got the cult status. All cinnamon red hots and alcohol. The only way it works is on the rocks.
