Again the nose struck me as medicinal, until a few drops are added. Then the sweetness started to come through. There is a hint of banana bread. The longer it sits, the better it gets. Very spicy. There is a bit of that banana taste, but also something that doesn't hit the tongue right. It reminds me of anise. Mind you, it doesn't taste like it, it's just that both of them I have a slightly unpleasant taste to me. Has a long spicy finish, which I really like. However there's that something else there that detracts.
