Seriously good stuff. Not for the purist, but as an enjoyable drink, it's pretty awesome; the initial taste is fantastic, making you exclaim "Whoa, what is this?!" It's surprisingly intricate for what it costs. My sole complaint is the sweet ending, which is common with added ingredients. It's certainly worth buying for companions to enjoy together – a great party treat.

Living in Nashville, I first sampled this at a downtown establishment. I recently acquired a bottle and mixed some drinks featured on their online content. I find it quite pleasant when mixed fifty-fifty with Fernet and served over ice. Its flavor characteristics are adaptable, complementing citrus and bitters well. It's also remarkably smooth served neat or on ice.

Lillie Cooke 2.5

Nose: Rich caramel, candy fish, coffee, and a charred smokiness. However, at times, an unavoidable smell of formaldehyde was quite unpleasant. Taste: Sugar-free cherry cola, coffee caramel candy, molasses, barrel char.

Declan Larkin 5.0

As someone who enjoys rye, I felt compelled to sample this. Coffee and rye intrigued me, but I was uncertain. It proves to be an excellent combination. Smooth and robust, with a pleasant rye spice. I've had it neat and in a coffee old fashioned. A fine product.

Major France 5.0

This is delicious. Highly adaptable, works in all Rye and Bourbon cocktails. Makes an outstanding Old Fashioned!!! Also excellent for sipping.

Leanne Phillips 5.0

Good balance, moderately sweet, with a genuine coffee flavor. An excellent after-dinner drink and perfect for an Old Fashioned!
