Violet Licorice 9mg, Zyn's floral liquorice with a bigger number
Every shelf has one can that makes people lean in and ask what on earth it is. On Zyn's shelf that is Violet Licorice. It is a floral, salty liquorice, the kind of flavour you find in a bag of salted liquorice sweets, and this 9mg can is the stronger of the two Zyn makes. It sits on the brand's middle tier, the 6mg to 13.5mg stretch, in the long slim pouch. Here's the thing. There is no mint in it and no fruit either, which on a shelf full of both is rather the point. Proper different, and it knows it.
Liquorice, salmiak and violet, sweet and salty in one pouch
Pop one in and the liquorice comes first, dark and smooth, then the salmiak brings a salty edge and the violet floats over the top of both. The shop's note calls it floral sweetness with smooth depth, and that is about right. It is a bit like opening a bag of salted liquorice at the back of the bus: sweet, salty and perfumed all at once, and oddly moreish. There is no cooling and no sharp finish, just a rounded, refined flavour that stays level through the load. It finishes soft and a little sweet. Fair play to it.
9mg a pouch, and the upper of Violet Licorice's two rungs
Each pouch carries 9mg of nicotine, which lands in our medium band, the one that runs from 8mg to 16mg, towards the gentler end. On Zyn's shelf that is the middle tier, 6mg to 13.5mg, with the 1.5mg to 3.5mg Minis below and the 16.5mg cans above. Violet Licorice is a short ladder of two rungs: Zyn Violet Licorice 6mg sits beneath this can and 9mg is the top. The pouch is the slim one, long and moist to the touch, so the uptake builds steadily and the curve has some lift. Medium snus, and nothing else on the shelf tastes like it.

For the regular who wants a can that is neither mint nor fruit
This is the can for the regular who has tried every mint and fruit on the shelf and wants something with more character at a medium number. It also suits anyone who grew up on salty liquorice and wants it in a pouch. Been on Zyn Violet Licorice 6mg and ready for more? This is the next step, same flavour, more behind it. Want a flavour just as unusual with a bit of warmth? Zyn Cactus Spice 9mg sits at the same number with cactus, lime and a chilli spice. Give it a go.
