The Feijoa is an evergreen shrub or small tree which originates from South America. Its fruit is green, ellipsoid, about the size of a chicken's egg and closely-related guava. In New Zealand the Feijoa is a common garden shrub and the fruit is considered something of a delicacy.
To say Feijoa fruit have a distinctive smell is an understatement – they stink. Apparently this is due to the methyl benzoate and related compounds.
Review and Tasting
Sampled before 1st May 2011
Appearance:
Crystal clear.
Aroma:
The nose smells of disinfectant mouthwash with hints of mint.
Taste:
Like toothpaste, 42 Below Feijoa is refreshing and scarily similar in flavour to that of the fresh fruit.
Aftertaste:
While I would not choose to drink this with tonic, its distinctive flavour provides interesting cocktail applications.
