Mackmyra Grönt Te

Green tea? Got to love Mackmyra. They are never afraid to try something. In a range which is hit and miss, this is a hit if not a huge one. Swedish spirit, which could be smoother as it battles the flavour range on show. That's pretty much the only negative as the product has a smorgasbord (see what I did there?) of content. I got butter and cream. A floral note. Tea. Obviously but not in the same way it comes across in now-unaffordable Japanese bottles, it is very much an air rather than a presence. Again, balance issues. The finish is loamy. Odd but fun. There's a sweet note and a touch of astringancy. It is unexpected but pleasing. Reading back, I've struck a negative note which is not my intention. This is a pleasing, different and challenging pour which I enjoyed. I feel though it could have moved from good to very good with a smoother backbone.

Lovely crisp apple notes
