TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Opens with sweet floral wafts of jasmine & honeysuckle. A freshly ironed cotton shirt, in a musty grain barn. Underneath the sweet fruity, floral goodness there's a refreshing presence – some coriander and cucumber-infused mineral spring water, and a hint of white pepper.
PALATE
Sweet caramel toffee onset. Glides through the palate with a syrupy texture, triggering mini-mine explosions of spice along the way – anise, nutmeg, baking spice. Some candied ginger transitions the spices into sweetness while soft comforting vanilla again brings these together, and along with saliva dilution, smoothens the palate into a fruity syrup – slices of peach and pears sprinkled with lime and drizzled with honey.
FINISH
Warm ginger & white pepper with some chewy tobacco and spiced oak. After ingestion, the spirit lingers for a good while, but suddenly – like a spiteful spouse who got everything in the divorce – turns dry and bitter, almost wicking moisture off your palate, leaving you with memories and wanting more.
