A free 50mL sample of this was included with Zaya rum. Why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The nose is delightful, full of those iced lemon cookies with a hole in the middle, the ones that come in a bag, and a little lemon-scented cleaner. When it opens up in the glass, it becomes hard lemon candy, then mellows out into watery lemon soda. All of this is just an illusion though, because there is the starkest contrast between the nose and palate that I have ever experienced. The taste is somehow bitter and full of sharp, rancid ethanol. It's truly bizarre to be smelling sweet lemon confections in the glass, right up to and including the moment it touches the tongue, and then ice cold water is thrown on that, jumpstarting you out of a pleasant dream. Bitter lemon oil is all that is left in the short finish. This is nothing that you should be drinking, only smelling. I suppose that is reasonable though, considering that a full 750mL bottle is only...$28.99?!? *monocle falls into snifter*
