SPIRIT NOTES
A fresh nose that imparted many summery impressions with notes of suncream and meadow flowers. Grassy, floral, bright and with plenty cereals, dried heather and hoppy ales. With water we got pine needles, clay, waxed canvass, white balsamic and mint julep. The neat palate opened with cough drops, soft waxes, citronella, plum eau de vie, crushed nettles, herbal teas and soft fudge. Surprisingly quaffable even at full strength. With water it reverted to the core ingredients with lots of lemon barley water, fresh cereals, bailed hay, grass, white flowers, dried apricot and heather honey.
