About a 1/4 of the bottle down. I never try to write a review on the first quarter. I’ve always just found that the bottling is mostly the same from 1/4 down to end then from first open to the 1/4.
Nose: on the initial nosing, I get a musty note that I’m not quite sure how to identify. Some kind of mossy green note. Stewed apples and citrus, honey. Slight brine on the end.
Taste: citrus, orange, honeyed, toasted coconu beginning. Salty briney mid flavor. Wood spice, bitters, sharp finish.
I really enjoy how this begins but not the way it finishes. I almost wish the beginning, mid and end were flip flopped. It’s got this really nice subtle sweetness to begin, then it quickly goes away leaving you with this bitterness that I don’t enjoy too much. Reminds me of bittermelon vegetables my mom used to cook in foods. The sauce and juices it was cooked in always tasted great but the bitterness of the vegetable leaves you wanting to flush it out quickly.
