Tasting Notes

We imagined smoke-roasted pears with mascarpone next to truffles dipped in dark chocolate and finished off with a sprinkling of salted pistachios. The taste was a sip from a smoky Thai holy basil gimlet or a masala chai loose-leaf black tea, plus a bite into a traditional minced beef and onion pie. Following reduction, we enjoyed smoked baby back ribs with an apricot glaze and a smoked limoncello spritz. On the palate, fresh floral notes combined with soft peaty flavours that brought to mind drinking earl grey tea in a gorse bush or chewing elderflower-enriched tobacco, with a hint of liquorice in the finish.
