80- Nose
- Very faint seaweed. Estery. Fruity.
- Palate
- Very light-bodied, but with interesting flavours. Coconut. Pistachio nuts. Rosewater.
- Finish
- Hessian, cedar and oak. Salt, very definitely. Seems to lift in the finish.
- Comment
- The flavours are tightly combined. I imagine exploring them late at night in a vaguely disreputable bar in the tropics. Perhaps it's the name.
Paul Pacult
50- Nose
- Intensely grainy and cereal sweet, with background touches of toasted almond and nougat. The aroma is vivacious at first, then it fades to obscurity with frightening velocity.
- Palate
- Ethereal to light-bodied. Pleasant, if one-dimensional on the tongue, showing mild, grain mash, manufactured, sweet flavour notes of light toffee and cane sugar.
- Finish
- Thin. Highland Spring mineral water shows more depth of character.
- Comment
- I find it too manipulated and, as a result, painfully bland. A cardboard cut-out.
