Review and Tasting

Sampled on 26/01/2013

Appearance:

(lot #248/12, best by Dec-13) Deep teak reddish brown.

Aroma:

Pungent amaretto and maraschino cherry with light rootyness, allspice and white pepper.

Taste:

Initial mild bitterness quickly grows but remains subdued compared to other bitters. Cherry notes fight for attention against clove spiced oaky bitterness.

Aftertaste:

Cherry notes give way to lingering rooty gentian bitterness.
