Review and Tasting


Sampled on 17/04/2012

Appearance:

Clear (although sediment is visible in the bottom of the bottle), vibrant violet with turquoise blue highlights - reminiscent of methylated spirits.

Aroma:

Perfumed floral violet blossom with white cacao and the merest whiff of carbolic soap.

Taste:

Fabulous, clean, intensely Parma Violet-flavoured with a slight chocolatey soapy note.

Aftertaste:

Lingering Parma Violet with slight peppery citrus acidity helping to balance syrupiness.
