A New York classic meets a Compound Genetics classic, and the result suits anyone who likes dessert with a menthol chaser.
The mother is JFK, a cut the breeder ranks as a New York classic, though its lineage has never been published. The father is Eye Candy, Biscotti x The Menthol, first seen in a Cookies x Compound Genetics release. Presidential Pardon arrived with the Eye Candy Vol. 2 line at Mary Jane Berlin in 2025.
From JFK come sweet diesel and creamy confection; from Eye Candy, a minty, herbal backbone and a gassy push. The breeder sums the terpenes as sweet, menthol, cream and astringent.
Detailed effect reports are still thin on the ground. What the breeder stresses is weight: a smooth, complex smoke it calls heavy hitting, so most will keep it for the evening.
Plants mostly take after JFK in shape while holding on to some Menthol traits, with frosty buds in several shades of green. Veg time is average and it suits indoor or outdoor growing. The breeder's table gives eight to nine weeks of flower, its own write-up up to ten, with a medium to high yield. No THC figure has been published.
