Bottle 20cl, courtesy of fonefan. Looking quite lovely in the glass, deep golden and oily. The aroma is on the honey side, lots of heather and generic flowery. Alcoholic, honey flavor with lots of heather. A bit warming, oily and full-bodied. Pity the flavor isn’t as good as the aroma, but it’s still a nice one. 110128

Bottle 20 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours golden. Sweet honey in the nose with a spicy edge. Medium body, a little honey first, then some paint thinner and then comes some dusty ginger. The finish is a little peppery. A little alcohol heat in the finish. 280111
