Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Nose of smoke, and very medicinal and antiseptic. Now the palate -- yum!! It's like good medicine with a smokey breeze. There's a flavor in here that actually reminds me of Anbesol. And there's just enough sweetness to balance the rest out. Long finish. If you're a fan of the medicinal thing, this is a must-try. A-/B+

Andy

n: lacquer (not misspelled) fumes, cinnamon sticks. Nice.

p: iodine and charcoal. Moderately sweet. Nice. I like it.

Fuji

Nose of burnt caramel, polished wood and sweet fruit marmalades all wrapped in smoky iodine. The palate follows suit with dark notes mixed in with sweet fruits and a black coffee finish.
