Tasting Notes
Smells soggy in the glass, fresh and floral on the back of the hand. This spirits takes you for a journey from the moment it hits your tongue. Flavor after flavor explodes and then recedes to yield room for the next. Impressive complexity.
Nose - alluring and rough, Robitussin. Taste - wonderfully complex series of flavors, layer upon layer with a constant underlying sweetness; chocolate, honey, creamy lemon, honeydew.
Nose is a little stinky. Sweetness is brief, then it opens up with a kaleidoscope of anise, juniper, orange and vanilla.
