Nose - Sharp candy red maraschino cherry juice, vanilla caramel, dusty peanut shells, cardboard, cherry twizzlers
Taste - Sweet red hots, french burnt peanuts candy, peanut brittle, peanut butter saltwater taffy, generic sweet nougat laffy taffy
Finish - Lingering sweet red hot/hot tamales candy, peanut brittle, cinnamon heat
Score - 72/100
Final Thoughts - So this was an interesting one, it seemed like it was all over the place with the very artificial sweet cherry & peanut vibe. This continued to the palate where this peanut funk dominated in that it was present but not in your face? This was quite a strange one in that it tasted like a mishmash of early 90s candies, but it wasn't unpleasant, it was tolerable? This is something that's unique for sure, but I'm not quite sure if it's something I'd ever reach for.

That's a real disappointment for a 12 YO.
