Review and Tasting


Sampled on 19/07/2022

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Fresh cereal grain with white pepper spice and faint pineapple, pear drops and mango fruity funk.

Taste:

A subtle "fresh" mintyness emerges on the distinctly grainy (faintly creamy) malty palate with grassy notes and more ripe tropical fruit.

Aftertaste:

White and black peppery spiritous spice with grassy, fruity and faint cacao notes.

Overall:

Combines notes associated with whisky and rum in what some would call a brannvin. A very versatile and interesting base spirit for cocktails.
