The nose is bright and floral, with notes of cherry blossom, eucalyptus, sandalwood, and subtle earthy hints of hay and dried leaves. The creamy, rich palate offers flavors of cherry cola, spearmint, and cocoa nibs, leading to a savory profile of salted sunflower seeds, baking chocolate, sea salt, and spicy ginger. The long, complex finish has no noticeable burn despite the 45% ABV.
