Tasting Notes

Colour

pale white wine

air Nose

interesting (no sugar!), between lightly aged cachaça and unaged damson eau-de-vie. I do not get much peat, if any, rather some kind of sugar syrup and the kind of grassiness that you would find in… indeed, young cachaça. Hints of aniseed, and even pastis. What’s this? Where’s Bowmore? With water: goes straight to the stable. Mud, wool, barnyard, bread, yeast, and almost no smoke

restaurant Palate

a strange spirit. Again, not much smoke, rather some raw eau-de-vie and something burnt, as if distillation was rushed. Friday afternoon work? Notes of supermarket gin. With water: rather a little better, thanks to some friendly lemons, but that’s pretty all

timer Finish

medium, raw, grassy and a little sugary
