Review and Tasting


Sampled on 10/10/2020

Appearance:

clear, pale salmon pink/rust red. [Sample bottle from batch No. 002]

Aroma:

Sloe berry and faint birch.

Taste:

Dry for a liqueur with pleasing sloe berry fruit enhanced by delicate birch notes. Delicate enlivening peppery spice.

Aftertaste:

Lingering sloe fruit with light peppery spiced birch.

Overall:

Beautifully balanced berry fruit and birch in a light and relatively dry liqueur. Bottled at an approachable 20% alc./vol. but perhaps could use 5% to 10% more alcohol to suit winter warming hipflask use. Delicious none the less.
