Nose

Really floral, with honeysuckle, jasmine and roses dominating. Elevenses in a carpenter’s workshop – Ceylon tea (he’s a posh carpenter, alright?), juicy orange segments, mandarin and chocolate cake, drifts of sawdust.

Palate

Zippy rye sings out clearly yet pleasantly, with hay, chocolate cake mix, orange zest and butter richness. Jasmine \r\nand roses on the mid-palate, dissipating into chocolate.

Finish

Dry rye bread and dark chocolate.

Comment

Solid sipped neat, or mixed in a Sazerac.
