Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

more austere and grassier than the 16, although I also find more marshmallows. Lovely notes of greengages, yellow melon, barley water, hay jelly (ever tried that? It's surprisingly good), a touch of fresh mint... It's a very elegant nose, less easy/sexy/obvious than the 16

restaurant Palate

perfect. Fresh fruits plus mint, aniseed and wormwood. There's a wee feeling of absinth, really! Also strawberry sweets, more apricots, mirabelles, maybe a little banana, jellybeans (or bears), tangerines... The strength is absolutely perfect

timer Finish

long, sweet and fruity. Drops of gewurztraminer and muscat. One drop each
