This dram is heavily inspired by the Gaelic goddess Neanchneohain.
It is now time for a taste.
Colour…Warm rosy amber.
Nose…Soft and ripe berries, these berries have a little spicy kick, caramel wafers crushed over vanilla ice cream.
Taste…Warming and soft, more berries, some mild herbs, trifle pudding with custard and red jelly strawberry cubes, add just a teardrop of water and it becomes very smooth.
Finish…Everything comes together, the fruits, the light spice, mild herbs, and vanilla, this is certainly a very enjoyable dram.
