History
Created by yours truly at the Clocktower, Rye, England. Named after the song of the same name on The Beatles 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Harts Club Band.
Review
White tea stirred with new make spirit and passion fruit liqueur. The result is almost floral with tea tannins and underlying spirituous funk.
