Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Classic fruity and funky ben. The nose has an industrial edge, akin to some white Jamaican rums. Some nettle, white chocolate, pencil shavings and brie. With time brings out some spices.
Palate
Dark chocolate, plums, green apples, and some peach and pear. There is good weight to the distillate, with some waxes and chalky minerality.
Finish
Long, fruity and funky (par for the course).
