I have had it. It’s goood.
I’ve heard of this but never tried it. My husband did once I think.
I’d like to have it, and I bet its good =)
I was pleased to be able to find this locally, at a Party Town store! Kinda pricy, but nice for special occasions! First time I tried this liquor was when I was in Bogota, it was really cold and we sat outside and watched a band play and drank canelazos!
Hi Erica,
My friend Yesid let me try this drink at New Year’s eve, we would have a few drinks and then
start with the chicken!
Well I never got at the chicken, I really do not remember a thing after finishing the whole or probably more bottlles , it is powerfull stuff just be aware when you have never tried it before,
still it is a good drink!
