Review and Tasting

Sampled on 25/09/2021

Appearance:

Clear, deep golden amber.

Aroma:

Rich fruitcake with plump sultana, raisin, and prune with honey, peach, fudge, and coal dust. Faint vanilla, walnut, and bergamot.

Taste:

Good balance of fruit (orange, passion fruit and pineapple) and woodiness with some honey sweetness and attractive clove, nutmeg, and black pepper spirituous spice.

Aftertaste:

Lingering sultana, old leather, nuts, and cleansing spice.

Overall:

This aged tsipouro takes this very traditional Greek spirit to a new premium level with flavours of Christmas – fruitcake, honey, spice and nuts.
