1994-2011 Vintage Batch 32 / 53.9% ABV
Taste - Pear, floral honey, gentle ginger spice, rose water, lemon/orange sherbert taffy, light fruit stem bitterness (w/ water) Fresh pear turns into canned pears, more green apple, gentle candied ginger spice, thinner mouthfeel, bitterness more subdued
Finish - Lingering pear, Asian pear skin bitter, floral honey (w/ water) More generic dull "pear" flavor, light floral honey
Score - 84/100
Final Thoughts - This had a very pleasant nose to it despite being a bit boring. The hit on the palate was very "creamy" feeling and was like eating a pear/lemon/orange taffy. Very floral notes which was nice. Addition of water sorta threw things out of balance and although it removed the fruity bitterness, I think it took away too much. This is pretty tasty and has nice pear dominated notes versus the more apple vibes I get from most other distilleries.
