So the burn on this baby is really off the charts: no surprise at 100 proof. My nose-hairs are singed. The government-supervised corn kernels are very prevalent, as they trail the jet stream of fusels, in the nose and on the palate. A touch of honey. Molasses and Sugar Babies, if you're old enough to remember those. There is some cinnamon on the back end that keeps coming in the finish. You get every inch of that 50% abv and it don't treat you gentle. Even diluting it doesn't really put out the four-alarm fire, but it's a rich-man's fireball at the end if you can wait it out. It would go great with a stick of Big Red. I'm not sure this one is for me but I don't dislike it.
