What it tastes like
- bitter → sweet
- It sits between bitter and sweet: 1.0 out of 10 of bitterness, 86th of 186 for sweetness.
- round → sour
- Acidity leaves it halfway: 86th of 186, and the acid comes from cola.
- light → strong
- Just 8.7% in the glass: lighter than 74% of the catalogue, and the volume has as much to do with it as the recipe.
Among the five around it on the map it is the only one built on whisky.
