A flavor unlike anything else. I began trying to get more soon after. A fresh bottle came in the mail last week.<\/p>\n<p>It was better than my memory! There is a curry flavor, cinnamon, anise is there and gives it an Absinthe\/licorice flavor that is subtle. It finishes with that almost Vick&#8217;s Vap-o-rub feeling in the nose.<\/p>\n<p>Some people take a sip and think you have poisoned them.
