Tasting Notes
Limited to 1 bottle per member
A slowly unfurling and deeply enticing initial aroma greeted the Panel. Initial notes included passionflower, heather honey, potpourri, drifting incense, toasted coconut and rose petals. Also dried heather, wormwood, bergamot, myrtle and linseed oil. Expressive and beautifully complex. Reduction gave us rosewater, carnations in vase water, dandelions, petrichor and hessian. Some rolling tobacco in an old leather pouch. The palate was almost pure concentrated heather honey to begin. Then a slow roll out of midget gem sweets, mineral oil, hardwood resins, varnished mahogany, kumquat and tea tree oil. Water added Lapsang Souchong tea, crystallised exotic fruits, pollens, juniper and camphor.
