67
- Nose
- Fruity. Cider apple. Crème brûlée. A wave of vanilla slowly emerges. Candied chestnut. Slightly grainy.
- Palate
- Sweet and smooth. The grainy character lingers. Not integrated caramel syrup? Weak at mid palate.
- Finish
- Sweet, bland.
- Comment
- Does not reflect a quality spirit. Looks as if it had been sweetened.
80
- Nose
- Perfumed and grassy, cumin and cinnamon, fresh fir, curry leaf/methi. Exotic and some complexity.
- Palate
- A floral start: freesia. The Turkish yoghurt (it's different to Greek) and apricot giving a thick feel before yielding to spiciness. Good length.
- Finish
- Guava.
- Comment
- Spicy rather than blandly sweet.
