Nose

Rose petals and pomegranate juice. Somewhat earthy, with liquorice, plasticine and all-spice. Slightly gluey.

Palate

Sweet but spiritous and at first really dominated by alcohol. Leaving it to take the air really transformed it. There’s caramel and allspice, cinnamon-dusted orange segments and candied ginger.

Finish

Short and hot, even after the air rest. Evaporates and leaves tannin dryness.

Comment

Hot and unruly, but the nose shows the spirit has potential to deliver more in time.
