Nose: Funky farmyard notes mingle with ripe apples, creating an intriguing combination of earthy funkiness and fresh fruit. With time, creamy vanilla emerges, accompanied by a whiff of tropical fruits.
Taste: Full bodied. A little funky here as well, with a slightly bitter edge. The fruitiness is more pronounced now, with tropical fruits taking centre stage.
Finish: Medium long. The tropical fruitiness continues, before giving way to the tart, slightly bitter character of rowan berries. A hint of aniseed emerges towards the end.
Comment: Funky tropics.
