Bottle picked up at Belmont St Farmer's Market. It appearance is clear greenish - yellow and a touch oily. The aroma is fragrant, spruce, pine, oily, honey cake, light fruity character, honey suckle and perhaps a touch herbal. The taste is slick, oily, sweetish, but mellow, spruce, green, herbal, floral, soft honey comb and a touch of alcohol warmth with a slick, oily finish. Medium body and oily, slick mouth - feel. Nice subtle nuances to it and never gets particularly sweet. Nice stuff.

Taster at grassmarket. Nose is spruce, zesty lemon, floral honey. Palate is strong herbal, a bit of zest. Heavy finish. A bit better than the normal, but still crazy strong.
