This tastes like a cough drop. The menthol is unbelievably forward. The finish is grossly bitter. There's a bit of sweetness and unplaceable herbal character here, but it is mostly menthol. There is just enough herbal character to make it taste like cough drops rather than breath mints, but that is mostly a disappointment. The herbal notes make it taste like Jagermeister mixed with creme de menthe, but in no way good. At least there are no weird alcohol flavors here ruining things. A bit of licorice, a tad of salt, and a hint of wood hang out in the herbal elements. The depth eventually becomes clear and the finish avoids objectively bad flavors, but it still tastes like cough drops.
There is some interesting smoke and a bit of sweetness, but the flavor is mostly menthol so this is a really hard drink too palate.
