Review by Montana
A sweet and fruity aroma, toffee. The taste is quite light, restrained sweet, a little bitter in the finish.

Review by Big Greasy Daddy
Well, they can’t all be winners. It’s label says “New Taste” but I wonder what the old taste was like? Unfortunately the new taste is not great. Astringent, chemically, and plastic flavors. Not horrible if you can get paste the industrial flavor but just not my bag. Longer finish but it’s not a good one.
Review by Bowel Emptier
Would not drink again. It smelled and taste a bit like this pet spray I use to clean up after my dog. It’s weird because behind the astringent chemical taste, there’s a nice warm chill rum, but it’s overshadowed. Not too gross to drink, not a catastrophe, just meh. Average for me is 5.
