Get ready for cherries, cherries, and more cherries! The nose is flooded with cherry cola, cherry cough syrup, cherry pie, and sundae cherries, accented by a pop of watermelon Jolly Rancher. There’s some heat on the palate, but it’s never overdone, especially with the addition of water; more cherries abound with dilution, supplemented by fruit snacks and a squeeze of lemon. The finish is light and zippy, tying the fruity experience together with a neat little bow.
