So this one should be even younger. This is the ‘Still Young’, unless it’s the ‘Very Young’. Oh let’s see… Colour: white wine. Nose: well, I have to say I’m finding this more complex, with these lovely herbal tones that we had already found in the Chibidaru. Linden, cherry stems… Some muesli too, raw malt, a touch of soot, and a few autumn leaves. Indeed, more complex. With water: gets totally muesli-esque. Mouth (neat): oh yes, this is excellent. Very punchy, citric and herbal, with some peppermint, lemons, paprika, green apples, and one cough pill. Something by Vicks, I’d say. With water: more fruit-forward, but the mentholy side remains there in the background. Finish: medium, sweet, with even a few sugary notes. Barley syrup. Comments: I’m rather more for this little one.
