Review and Tasting

Sampled on 17/04/2012

Appearance:

Clear, Methylated spirits purple/mauve.

Aroma:

Initial faint methylated spirit note preambles the violet nose with old lady's perfumed talcum powder.

Taste:

Syrupy, icing sugar sweetness precedes subdued Parma Violet palate.

Aftertaste:

Continuation of main palate to fade with final notes of fresh liquorice root.
