Impact
Fun day at the beach leads to an anonymous fling while on tour in Trinidad with a crazy red-head we’ve all met in an Irish pub somewhere, sporting raspberry freckles & a hairy cherry bush in your mouth. (Hmmm, you’ve never had one?)

Flavor 44 / 50
candied cacáo -> sandalwood -> big headed raspberry goes down like strawberry-blonde-colored Rainier cherry to an all-spice bottom planked on vanilla -> curls back up cigarillo chica rolled w/ cheap leaf passed as Partagas from Pinar del Rio, Cuba, for a soda ender w/ tobaccocoa afterburn
Quality 18 / 20
On Caribbean Islands, locals measure time & distance by how many smokes it takes. The long & short of this bar: immediate impact with some length or, in patois, about 2 smokes. Underlying bitter gets washed away by sun-sweet fruit currents that stay clearly focused on raspberry & adjunct cherry.
