Slender, corked 750 via Press online. What a long route it's taken to get to me. Few weeks in the fridge. Mojito glass at home. No vintage.
Pale gold, intentionally still. Decent clarity.
Earthy & sharp nose, unripe fruit, sour apple, touch of white grapefruit was unexpected but cool.
Nice acidy, citrus kick upfront. Hay. Lemon. Feels like this is mostly sharps with just a hint of tannin & earth on the drawn out finish. Probably missing one more note for complexity sake.
Slight oiliness is a plus. ABV is a little low for a still.
Good slosh.

375ml via Press online. Week in the fridge, now I'm impatient.
Medium pale, slight gunk, yeasty bits, quick soda head.
Sharp, twang, white grape, sweet flesh nose.
Super intense Bartlett-like flavor. Twangy muscadine, lemon, floral, vinegar, slight funk.
Sharp carb falls immediately, leaving it a little soupy. Muddled texture but it ends with some dry-ish pithiness.
Tis okay.

Vintage 2014. Definition of decadent. Concentrated apples, sweet and moreish, caramel, honey, fresh apple, toasted sugars. Full bodied, subtly oily. Lightly warming finish, sweet but not quite cloying, more delicious sugary apple. A shot of this is, pound for pound, probably more satisfying than almost any other beverage.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! Aroma of sweet cooked apples, sugar and apple pie. Very smooth mouthfeel. Sweet taste with hints of honey as advertised, white grape comes through. Enjoyable.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! Aroma of sweet apple, woody notes and hints of banana. Very smooth but slightly weak and does not really follow through.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo via Ed. Cheers! Aroma of apple pie, caramel and brown sugar. Drying taste that turns from sweet apple to sour to slightly funky. Really does leave the mouth dry. Liked this.
