Colour: light gold. Nose: varnish, kirschwasser, sawdust, oranges, cut apples… It doesn't talk much this far, but water should wake it up. With water: not the first time that I'm finding one of these Heaven Hills rather malty and doughy. Very nice notes of pancake, with the obligatory maple syrup (or pancake sauce). Touches of fresh teak (new garden furniture). Mouth (neat): marmalade, nutmeg and cinnamon, those violets (sweets, crystallised petals…), touch of grapefruits… What's really excellent with these indie bottlings is that they would rather display less straight oak. Some liquorice. With water: some preserved fruits coming out, wholegrain bread, tiny touches of rye. Finish: medium, with ripe apples perhaps. Those violets in the aftertaste. Comments: perhaps a little less impressive than an earlier HH by Liquid Treasures (2009/2019, WF 88) but still really good, in my opinion. Careful with the amount of water you add, having said that, it's probably not the best swimmer ever.
