Taster

Nose: Grassy, musty. Wet leaves, moss, damp fern. Develops on a tender vanilla note. Lemonade. Wafer biscuit. The earthy aromas slowly fade away. Pleasantly perfumy. With water, medlars.

Palate: Smooth, satin-like. Vanilla syrup. A hint of poached peach. Dries at mid-palate. Ground ginger. Touch of chilli.

Finish: Dry, warm. Spicy.

Comment: A clean spirit, drier and spicier than expected from the nose. A dash of\rwater gives it a better balance.

Score: 7.8

Palate: Zesty and vibrant with plenty of nuttiness. Medium dry. Tight with fresh spices moving forward.

Finish: Crisp and clean.

Comment: Triple distillation heightens the aromatics though can't really see the\roloroso influence.
