Lightly floral and fruity on the nose, slightly savory notes of orange peel and lime peel, with hints of melon and peaches. The palette is simple, with a difficult to place sweetness that gives way to a bitter, astringent finish. The palette almost reads like a banana flavoured candy. Much better drank in a highball with fresh fruit juice
Not bad smooth but has weird taste like watered down vodka
