Online tasting note for reference:
Nose: Rich, heady. Aromas of vetiver, rubber, cane sugar and camphor are all very present. Allowed to breathe, the aroma palette becomes more medicinal (ointment, mustard poultice) and empyreumatic. Exotic fruits (banana, pineapple) then fill the air.
Palate: Lively, vigorous. The expressive attack recreates the flavours of a very hot-headed spirit. A mix of coriander, tar, cane sugar and geranium honey, the mid-palate is striking. Finally, toffee and ripe banana soothe the taste buds.
Finish: Long, heady. At the start of the finish, the distillate’s power provides the backbone for the flavour palette. Little by little, milky (agave, coconut), fruity (melon, apricot) and menthol notes refresh the increasingly floral after-taste (iris butter).
