Nose
Takes me back to Autumn, turning leaves, leaf mulch, fresh turned earth and gentle smoke. The there’s a zingy Key lime pie note, lemon curd and raw pastry notes. A treacle sweetness to it.
Palate
That sweetness and honey come through at first. Quite hot, alcohol prickle, but water helps. Tropical fruits come through with gentle smoke.
Finish
Short and swift, quite feisty and fizzy like sherbet, water brings out orange jelly.
Comment
Fun, big boned and water really helps it show its true colours though.
