Taster
Nose: Sweet up front with caramel slices and Rice Krispie cakes, dark chocolate and honey. Marshmallow. Then dark fruits take over, figs and a little goat's cheese.
Palate: Big and bold, with plenty of fruits coming through. Layers of sweetness, ginger cake and brown butter. A little musty, like coffee grinds and brown bread.
Finish: Quite swift but leaves a lingering cinder toffee note.
Comment: A great amount of sweetness that is tempered by the dark fruits and darker chocolate. Quite moreish really.
Score: 8.1
Taster
Nose: Masked by the spirit but there are undertones of freshly squeezed grapefruit and coconut oil. Heavy on vegetal aromas of sautéed peppers and boiled red cabbage.
Palate: A vegetal sourness dominates straight away but those citrus fruits are trying their best to peek through.
Finish: Rich and bitter with a juicy oiliness coating the palate.
Comment: Like opening a damp cupboard and spritzing it with some lemon juice.
Score: 7.5
