TASTING NOTES
Without Water
Nose: Warming rounded notes of fruitcake, Christmas pudding and dried fruit, with subtle hints of peaches and apricots and buttered toast.
Palate: An exciting departure from the rounded notes on the nose to a much fresher zing of citrus and spice. Fresh orange and lime zest are balanced with aromatic spices and heat.
Finish: A generous and lengthy finish, bringing spices, especially cloves, and some final heat to the mouth.
With water
Nose: The addition of water significantly opens up the sweeter aromas of butterscotch burnt caramel and vanilla custard.
Palate: The sharpness of zesty citrus continues with the addition of water with subtle cardamon hints.
Finish: There is a pleasingly robust and lengthy finish with lingering cloves and a hint of aniseed.
