Nose: Fresh, summery, and instantly inviting. It opens with the floral brightness of elderflower cordial, sharp lime juice, and fresh lemon peel, backed by a clean touch of mineral chalk. There’s a nice, nostalgic sweetness here that flips between cheap white chocolate and the comforting, rich depth of buttered Soreen malt loaf.
Palate: The arrival is malty, crisp, and beautifully weighted. Bright green apple, lime cordial, and tart gooseberries lead the charge, before the texture takes a lovely, heavy turn toward beeswax candles. Just as the fruit and wax settle, a brilliant savoury complexity slips in – think warming ginger and a sophisticated hint of salty white miso.
Finish: Clean, snappy, and full of life. It lingers comfortably on dry ginger biscuits, balanced by a cracking acidity from those sharp green apples and lingering gooseberries.
Non-chill filtered and natural colour. This spirit may haze at low temperatures and under dilution.
