Tasting Notes

Nose

Lightly citric, then old apples (wrinkled Cox) straw, dry wood. Becomes quite sharp in time, then dusty, with notes of floor polish and yellow dusters.

Palate

Carbolic soap. A greasy feel.

Finish

Blessedly short.

Comment

Like an old dusty house that's being cleaned up for the new owners.
