Tasting Notes

The very pale colour stopped us short to wonder whether this sample had ever been in a cask. It was a delightful, flavoursome spirit reminding some of us of mirabelle plum eau de vie from Alsace, with a teasing sweet smoke lingering in the background. On the palate, carpaccio of scallops came prepared with lime juice, and seasoned with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. After the addition of water we were served a glass of champagne and, soon after that, plates of smoked salmon and caviar cocktail blinis, bite-sized buckwheat pancakes, made the rounds.
