:
Nose: Strangely enough, this reminds of grappa at first, before other fruity notes take over, such as orange custard and lots of apricots. There are some sultanas here too. Somewhat prickly, but that is to be expected at this high an alcohol percentage. Not the most complex, but very inviting.
Taste: Quite fruity and spirit driven, which I like. The cask influence is subtle, and I can’t help but wander to grappa again, with notes of pineapple, grapes and lychee. Quite vegetal too. Finally a hint of eucalyptus.
Finish: Vegetal notes mainly. Different and interesting.
