Tasting Notes

“If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen” or, in our case, the engine room of a ship. Pistons were running hot while the man in the boiler room dreamt of freshly cut grass and stripped green twigs. On the palate raw came big smoke – have those pistons overheated? There was, somewhere in the background, a subtle sweetness, citrus-like, the herbaceous scent of rosemary essential oil. Following reduction we found carbolic soap, traditional creosote next to aniseed liqueur, and gentian schnapps. The taste was like a smoking green fairy, a concoction of absinthe, mezcal and a few dashes of angostura bitters before a burning rosemary sprig is added.
