The nose is a little difficult to pick out, and tricks you into thinking it will be more savory than it is. I get peppermint, cola, star anise, and cinnamon bark. Palate: Cola syrup hits you instantly, followed by licorice and fennel, manifested by a similarly prominent note that is equal parts sweet and herbal. This melds with cinnamon candy in the finish that functions like an avatar for spice, neatly hiding the alcohol heat that shows up at the end. I tried a 50mL of this, liked it, bought a bottle (still like it), but probably won't do it again. There are too many other liqueurs out there that scratch exactly the same itch, but aren't associated with frat parties. Update: I DID buy it again (and mix it with Disaronno), because it's good and IDGAF.
