Shawn C commented on 4/13/2024:

Mellow Corn's charms are on display here. The drink's mellowness comes from both Mellow Corn's barrel aging and the inherent sweet corn flavor that along with the other ingredients' sweetness mask what would otherwise be quite substantial alcohol heat. Surprisingly, the cocktail is 88+ proof before mixing-ice dilution, and is over 2x the 0.6 oz alcohol standard drink figure (which is of course woefully low compared to modern cocktail volumes and components.) The cinnamon from the Becherovka hits the nose first, as well as in the sip, closely followed by the cacao and vanilla.
