I've never met a red licorice I didn't like until now. I got a 3ml sample from strictly, so it's a basic Dekang. Man talk about cough syrup! I put one drop on my atty and I had to go through a whole cart before the taste burned out of there. I think they just relabeled cherry or something. Icky stuff stay away. Thank goodness I only blew $2 on it.
