Bright amber in colour. Out of the glass come intense fumes that make you blink - and there’s a touch of VA here too. Aromas of mashed orange rind and fine fruit vinegars. Then on the palate it bursts into sweetness, coating the mouth with sweet juice and intense flavour - honey, pear, tobacco and something almost like unsmoked cigars. There's cedar and dried apricot too. It’s so complex and the sugar gives it untold length. Great cleansing acidity and a subtle nip of bitter orange neaten up the finish.
