What critics and judges wrote
Tart and tangy, this leans into citrus, with lime juice, lemon peel, and grapefruit at the fore. Give it a moment and richer, if a little artificial, notes arrive: chocolate syrup, Swiss Miss, and Yoo-hoo.
Vibrant notes of ripe, dark cherry, apple, nutmeg, clove, and vanilla greet the nose with a slight twinge of alcohol. The palate has a fun bite akin to salty malted pretzels. … Ends a bit hot, but that's to be expected.
