Nose
Spirity, astringent. Plenty of heat. Fruity. Bruised apple. A cocktail of kirshwasser, amaretto and manzana verde liqueur.
Palate
Fruity, bubblegum sweetness, juicy pic 'n' mix sweets: lemon drops, pear drops, coconut ice. Some fresh citrus creeps in.
Finish
Good length, fruit, marked clarity, peppered note.
