Darjeeling adventures continue.
The liquor smells lovely, both fruity and floral, and reminds me of being in a conservatory or greenhouse.
On the palate this is interesting, but not what I was expecting. Rather than being sweet or grapey, this is all earth and very dark green vegetal flavours, perhaps kale and asparagus, with some mineral, peppercorn, and then a whisper of malt on the finish.
I don’t really know what to make of this. It’s interesting, not bad, but an odd combination of flavours. My mouth wants some of that perfumey floral that’s on the nose.
The cup is fairly smooth, except for a slight scratchiness at the back of my throat, which I think (hope) is the tea, and not me coming down with my partner’s sick.
