Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of KO Kush is a complex blend of earthy, spicy, and pine notes, complemented by a sweet, candy-like finish. On the palate, it offers an initial herbal and peppery taste, which develops into a sweet, red licorice or cherry flavor, concluding with a lingering spice and slight bitterness.
