ABV 52.6%
Fiery. Lacks balance and character. Water cuts the edges but does not improve the aroma delivery.

Taster
Nose: Shy at start. Hesitate between cereal and fruit. Slightly meaty. Chicken stock. And a grassy scent. Like a\rgarden after a thunderstorm shower on a scorching hot day. A minty touch.
Palate: Flowing. Quite light bodied but assertive. Warm vanilla custard. The alcohol bite and the spicy profile give\ra tingly kick.
Finish: Quickly fading. Dry spiciness.
Comment: Fiery. Lacks balance and character. Water cuts the edges but does not improve the aroma delivery.
Score: 7
