Tasting Notes

Joel Harrison

Taster

Nose: Delicate peat and heavy spirit. Wet wool and more vanilla.

Palate: Smoke, a dying BBQ, red cherry cola, rooibos tea, mint leaves and lime juice.

Finish: Coal dust and lime juice; almost Mezcal like.

Comment: Like a smoked margarita.

Score: 7.3

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Resinous, perfumy. Sun warmed pine needles. Vetiver. Quite an unusual aromatic profile. Enticing though. Charcoaled beef. Thyme.

Palate: Silky. Malty and fruity. Pears poached in a cinnamon syrup. Barley wine. A hint of green apples.

Finish: Sweet and crisp, soothing on a delicate nutty aftertaste.

Comment: A surprising balsamic profile. I was more intrigued by the nose than the palate. I would avoid water.

Score: 7.7
