the experience
(liquor)
aroma
Eminently floral; redolent of white lily, geranium with hints of raw mango and muskmelon
appearance
Champagne
taste
The liquor is light-bodied, immensely smooth and tipped with fresh floral attributes. Aromatic floral notes; reminiscent of white lilies and geranium can be perceived right at the start which gradually intensify and give the cup a sweet, floral character. Subtle undertones of raw mango interlaced with fresh tropical fruits akin to muskmelon come through around the edges and towards the back, complementing the exquisite floral aromatics of the liquor. Invigorating accents of spring sap can be picked up in the aftertaste; making for a memorable experience. The second steep brings forth delectable flavors of raw mango and is recommended with ice for a truly sublime experience.
