Can't get past the smell of arc welder on the nose. The palate has an unpleasant hot metallic note which dominates, there's some fruity notes in the background trying to come through, you also feel the full heat of the 120+ proof. The finish is hot and long, towards the end some actually pleasant rum type notes appear.
Tried it with water and it was slightly better, just can't get rid of the hot metallic notes.
Bottle kill 10/30/22.
Still funky and hot, the fruity notes are more prominent, the metallic note is almost gone, very faint.
