Review and Tasting

Sampled on 07/01/2020

Appearance:

Clear golden amber.

Aroma:

Subtle and complex rather than pungent. Cigar leaf, chicory smoke and butterscotch with faint linseed oil. More reminiscent of a whisk(e)y than a grappa.

Taste:

The complex, almost meaty smokiness is well-integrated and well-balanced rather than overpowering and bitter. Indeed, this grappa is faintly sweet. Light cinnamon and black pepper spice.

Aftertaste:

Long lingering toasty oak and subtle smokiness and gentle spice.

Overall:

With is subtle meaty smoky flavours, this elegant and complex grappa – with its flavours of cigar leaf, chicory smoke and butterscotch – is whisky-like.
