Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

all these ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon give it away, this was ‘flavoured’ with wood. Curry, cloves, pinewood… This is more or less in the style of those new craft distillers who just have to sell their very new spirit to polish their cash flow, and to use wood (small barrels) to add flavours to their newly born spirits. In some cases, that’s understandable, in others, it’s not

restaurant Palate

not bad, but I just can’t stand oak spices when there’s this many of them. Cinnamon, cloves, ginger… The distillate is almost suffocating and about to get killed by the oak spices

timer Finish

long, all on wood spices (you guessed it, I imagine)
