Nose: Stale musk sticks (but in a pleasant way),
pineapple and banana chewy confectionary, resin, tree sap, glazed oranges, and
a dose of sherry (possibly brandy and cola?) After sitting for a while the
orange becomes extremely evident: a powdered sherbet form (vitamin C tablets?).
Taste: A spicy number indeed: wood spice and
pepper. Very prickly with dried figs and oak. The orange returns but it is a
bit more shy and dull compared to the nose: stale peel. Bitter and a slight
vegetal note I couldn't pinpoint (baked turnip?).
Finish: Pepper and spices stay for a reasonable run
before transitioning to dried fruits and tree sap.
Comment: Decent stuff, in my opinion the 200ml
bottling is adequate enough, as a personal preference I wouldn't buy the 700ml
bottling. However, this gift (birthday present) was extremely appreciative and a great experience.
