Charisma emporium

Highland, Southern

The panel found this one to be typically bright, grassy, citric and overflowing with aromas of freshly malted barley, malt extract, hop syrup and notes of various freshly pulled bitter ales. Some waxes and subtle mineral notes in the background too. Reduction brought firmer notes of hessian, heather flowers, fabrics and crumbled chalk. The neat palate was very sweet and buttery, lots of yellow and crystallised exotic fruits. In time we also noted mead, boiled lime sweets, citrus curds and dried papaya. With water we found bitter lemon, dried herbs, exotic fruit teas, wildflowers, gorse and lanolin. Typically brilliant as this distillery usually is.
