David T. Smith
Nose
Perfumed and floral with cut pear, elderflower, rose and apple. Hints of grappa and eau de vie.
Palate
A strong character with warmth from the alcohol coming through; the character of the base comes through too, and complements the botanicals well. Fruity raisin and berrys with sweet, herbal bread and fennel.
Finish
Meatloaf with menthol pepper.
Comments
Powerful. Would work with sweeter tonics like many in the US. It’d make a respectable Bramble too.
Score
7.4
Felicity Murray
Nose
Nutty and autumnal with apples, pears, cereal and warm baking spices, earthy pine and leafy notes.
Palate
Smooth, creamy and restrained with vanilla, cedar, almonds, violet and rose.
Finish
Apple crumble with vanilla ice cream, then dry and slightly vegetal with the alcoholic strength leaving a warm glow in the mouth.
Comments
A strong spirit that will warm up winter evenings. Garnish with a skewer of sweet chestnuts.
