Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

it’s certainly young, pretty au-de-vie-ish, with many pears and almondy cherries. Soft kirsch. Now it’s really cool to be able to taste some almost-new-make, and we do have to applaud the fact that the owners did not bury it under tons of vulgar coconutty oak to make it more ‘mature’ (ha!)

restaurant Palate

hold on, this is much nicer! True barley eau-de-vie, with this lovely breadiness that we like so much, and some very soft spices on apple compote and plum jam. This, is very nice

timer Finish

medium, barleyish, bready, and a little Slivovitzy (apologies)
