Taste
Embodying the quiet splendor of winter, this exquisite batch from Billimalai tea estate offers a medium-bodied, silky-smooth liquor that fills the palate with a gentle yet lively character.

It opens with a soft embrace of floral notes reminiscent of amaryllis, gracefully unfolding into a symphony of sweet tropical fruitiness, akin to the lushness of ripe cantaloupe. As the flavors evolve, radiant citrus notes and crisp wintergreens emerge, adding depth and vibrancy to the cup.

The finish is clean yet lingering, leaving behind a honeyed sweetness that envelops the senses—an invitation to indulge in the essence of winter frost from the misty Blue Mountains.
