Tasting Notes

Nose

Grassy, smoky. Bonfire dying under a light drizzle. Refreshing and cheerful. Vanilla syrup. Hint of honeysuckle. Cider apple.

Palate

Sweet at first. Then the dry smoke tightens the flavours. Sooty and dusty.

Finish

Dry, sooty.

Comment

A morning uplifter. To be enjoyed with cream and porridge on a dricht day !
