The nose is fragrant with herbs and florals, and is a bit medicinal. Licorice is the star of the show, but there are subtle notes of rose water and bubble gum, and the faintest hint of banana. Fans of licorice (or Fernet Branca) will enjoy the ride, as the palate delivers a potent licorice punch that never quite lets up. Its joined by a spicy cinnamon kick, as well as a tart bite of cherry. Unsurprisingly, licorice carries this one home, joined by a gentle smack of spearmint.
