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
