Nose

Feisty and intense with some citrus oil, Seville orange, banana, maple syrup, smoke and sagebrush fires.

Palate

Perfumed start: a whiff of dried lavender, singed orange peel, dusty spice cupboards.

Finish

A whipcracking lash.

Comment

Old-style, teeth-sucking stuff. If this was a singer it would be Merle Haggard. A great cocktail base.
