Burdekin Distillery Distillers Edition First Giru Cane Spirit (700ml)

Aka the 'JP Edition', First Giru is a tribute to a collaboration with dedicated farmer, John Pierotti. Burdekin harvested the first local crop of Giru sugarcane in Spring 2022. What followed was a double distillation of 500 bottles that sits firmly in the tradition of French agricole. The bouquet evokes icing sugar, green olive brine and semi-ripe papaya complexed by hints of caraway rye bread and white pepper. Semi-sweet, intense and vivacious flavours continue the aromas including semi-ripe tropical fruits and a white pepper tingle. The finish is soft and vaguely saline, with crushed papaya seeds, cocoa, hints of match box and a prolonged rush of spirit warmth. More Haitian than Martinique? Whichever, it's an impressive debut. 45% Alc./Vol. Zero additives.
