Nose

Discreet. Vanilla syrup. Touch of lemon posset. Delicate and subtle. The high alcohol strength does not show at all.

Palate

Velvety. Mouth coating. Cooked fruit. Pears and ginger. The alcohol bites the tongue a little and numbs it. Water is compulsory, it stresses the pear flavours.

Finish

Spicy, lingering on the pear notes.

Comment

There is a great difference between the nose and the palate. The alcohol is really aggressive on the palate. Better with water but still vibrant.
