This is the fifth spirit I've tried tonight, with about a quarter of the bottle remaining. It has a distinct and unpleasant radish flavor, along with a light taste of sweet herbal liqueur. It strongly evokes the scent of wood and carpentry supplies, and the alcohol is sharp, causing a burning sensation in the mouth. The aroma is heavily alcoholic, and inhaling it stings the nose.

A wonderful sweet aroma, with a pleasing combination of oak and fruit flavors. I'm very satisfied with this one.
Big flavors. Quite hot, but that's expected from a brandy. This is absolutely fantastic.
Notes of oak and dried fruit. A strong 4.5/5 rating, though it drinks smoothly despite the 50% alcohol content.
