Unfortunately not my thing. Light and refreshing in the mouth, nice berry flavor with just a hint of mint. But on the swallow I was hit with cough syrup that continued in the aftertaste.

Very fruity. You won't even notice that this is a really strong drink. I used Redbreast 12 yr and Gabriel Boudier Crème de Cassis de Bourgogne. It was good.

Very nice and surprisingly light- it's the mint that does it. Although it's a dark-spirit drink, it drinks sharp and light- a sunny afternoon drink. (*although I used crème de mure rather than cassis... framboise would als work....)
