I had a bottle of Ellington thst i really liked. I wanted to buy it again and the store didn’t have it. I drove out of my way to a different store and they had Ellington, but not the one I previously liked. That was sold out. So I bought this one, but i was very skeptical because it was dirt cheap and the tag at the store said it was great mixed with cola or ginger ale, but didn’t mention sipping on its own. Anyway, it’s not great. Not horrible, mind you. It has some interesting flavors like eucalyptus, anise, and herbal notes… but they are overpowered by the force of alcohol. It is not smooth. Good for the dirt cheap price, but this is some cheap shit. Still, i’ll enjoy it until the bottles gone and I can upgrade. 70/100
