Producer Tasting Notes...
WITHOUT WATER
Aromas of red apples and pears with vanilla syrup. Morning dew and Juniper adds a floral note, delicately encased in a subtle smoke.
Taste: A touch of chilli to start balanced with the sweetness of sherbet and candied oranges. Peaches and strawberries in sugar syrup with hints of milk chocolate add to the mix. Flavours of pear skin to finish with a delicate touch of smoke.

WITH WATER
Aroma: Green apples and cream soda aromas with a hint of log fire smoke. Morning dew along with heather honey and a zing of lemon endures.  
Taste: The taste of chilli builds to the heat of white pepper. Fruity flavours such as red apples, kiwi and ripe bananas are balanced with a salty pistachio edge. Royal icing and aniseed add to the sweetness.
