Based on name, proof, and price, I don't think I would have bought this, but I did, Based on recommendations and reviews. First sniff had me worried, it smelled like what I thought it was going to. Hot and ethanolly. But first sip set me straight. It's quite pleasant and easy to drink. It's hot, and spicy, but in a very good way and the proof is on point. It works. For the price, it'll likely get replaced once it's gone
