Overall
Score
7.8
Nose
Light and floral, some sweetness apparent. Beeswax, phenol and a little musty. Intriguing for sure.
Palate
Burnt fireworks, cedar, cereal, leading into a leafy powerful spice with a hint of vanilla and liquorice.
Finish
Astringent and mouth coating, opening to a cigar box finish.
Comment
Interesting and surprising to say the least. An unusual combination which I’m enjoying trying to get my head around though would happily indulge in trying to understand it further.
