Tasting Notes

Limited to 1 bottles per member

A rather brusque and charismatic initial aroma of camp coffee, sweet camphor, rubber plimsolls, honey-centred lozenges and crisp cereals. Also some lighter notes underneath of wildflowers, linseed oil, tobacco leaf and mint tea. Reduction brings Carnation milk sweetness, rye bread with honey, lemon curd and things like dates and chopped walnuts. The palate opens with a little sharp citrus, buttery corn on the cob, mojitos, pink wafers and orange bitters. Water softens all this out with a breath of cut grass, juicer fruits and a drier and more supple mineral quality. Some kiwi and custard creams in the aftertaste.
