Blimey, this one’s a proper dark amber in the glass, almost gloopy. Nose kicks off with a whack of varnish and a bit of tar, but then this wonderfully mentholy lift cuts right through it — like smashing notes of menthol cigarettes without the smoke. Sipped it… crikey, it’s richer than rich. Syrupy, almost. There’s liquorice in there, a weird twist of coconut wine sweetness, and a whisper of triple-sec orange that keeps it lively. Then this mossy, damp forest-floor thing sneaks in, with a drop of balsamic tang right on the edges. Finish just goes on, very long, all menthol and dark treacle. Quite a star, frankly.
