Tasting Notes

Liquid gold in the glass and warm and salty on the nose—a treasure chest laden with sultanas, orange peel, mango and white chocolate that sinks into a deep sea dive on the palate, with seaweed and crushed shells, followed by a bends-inducing ascent back to the surface propelled by distilled rare citrus flavors, Buddha's hand, citron, Zagara, late tangerine. Jason and his Argonauts must have felt this when they saw Colchis on the horizon.
