Tasting Notes
This dram took us back in time to the ‘golden twenties’ of the last century in Berlin, and a certain cabaret, with those long cigarette holders, cocktails and old-fashioned perfumes. We also found a definite mineral dryness on the palate, with a teasing hint of smoke, pebble beach, driftwood and grilled langoustines with chilli, garlic and coriander. Following reduction, we were back in the 1920s, probably now on the Moulin Rouge in Paris with sweet vermouth, dry champagne, choux à la crème and a bee’s knees cocktail of gin, fresh lemon juice and honey. We stayed in France, sipping a Martinique rose: rhum agricole, bittersweet Italian liqueur, almond syrup, fresh lime and grapefruit juice.
