Nose
Candied fruit and luscious watermelon, this reminds me a lot of watermelon sorbet.
Palate
Soft and almost fluffy in terms of texture, this has a smooth vanilla sweetness that’s followed by a slight bitterness. The fuller, more luscious watermelon flavours then return.
Finish
Lingering heat combined with subtle notes of angelica, juniper, and citrus.
Comments
Refreshing: it would be great on a hot day with plenty of ice, sparkling water, and a twist of lime.
Score
7.8

Nose
Fresh watermelon, a little lemon, a green piney note and some crisp white wine.
Palate
Watermelon flirts with juniper pine upfront in a blend of sweet and bitter. Then a little citrus. Has a light mouthfeel, reminiscent of watermelon juices…
Finish
Short to middling length with a confectionary sweetness remaining.
Comments
A tasty refresher. Captures the chosen flavour nicely. Will surely serve as a great summer long drink with some sparkling water.
