750ml bottle from their AVL shop. I thought I swore off old Botanist, but I'm a sucker for single varietals. Only learned later that this was released in September '21. Three weeks settling on the cold porch. Mojito glass @home. Reeks of vinegar & hot n fruity fermentation right from the pour. Apples, pears, lemons, roses. I can almost taste what Harry Master's supposedly taste like. I just unfortunately get immediately face fucked by this lemon scented Lysol wipe. It tastes like everything else wild they make. Sidra-inspired, but it's better suited to cleaning the funk out of your dish sink then tapas. I could drink it if forced, but I'm not desperate & just don't want to. Astringent, puckering, bittersweet, low carbonation, hard sulfites, good mixed with soy sauce & ginger for dumplings. Keep fooling me.
