Review and Tasting


Sampled on 05/04/2010

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Slightly smoky, bags of dry peat with notes of hay bale and white pepper.

Taste:

The balanced palate has an almost creamy mouth feel with flavours of cigar leaf and coco dusted chilli chocolate, white pepper/ smoked red bell pepper spice mellowing to a chicory wood dryness.

Aftertaste:

The finish sees those peaty notes from the nose emerge with liquorice and fudge notes as well as the chicory from the palate. An easy introduction to mezcal.
