Tasting Notes
Nose
Subtle smoke beneath zingy citrus — pine smoke exciting the taste buds
Palate
Clean pine smoke settling as candied sweet orange rises — fresh citrus of lemon verbena and tangerine sage resolving into back-palate sweetness, perfect balance without any wobble
Finish
Long as deep rich smoke lingers — a tightrope of balance that never falls into aggressiveness
Expert Review
8/10Lapsang Souchong tea for clean pine smoke with candied sweet orange — tangerine sage, pineapple sage and lemon verbena from the distillery's own geodome. A flavour tightrope walked perfectly.
