Just because it's on clearance for $9 doesn't mean it's good. The nose is that wet cat, overly young spirit scent that I associate with cheap tequila and bad decisions at college parties. The palate is better than the nose, but that's not entirely a complement. Sweet vanilla cream and too much young spirit rawness. On the plus side, if I ever want a rum and coke, this will do marvelously since that'll mask the burn.

Thought I would like this as it matched the profile of zaccappa but has a strange aftertaste that's not overly pleasant. Not for me.
