Appearance: Dark brown, opaque Nose: Black liquorice dominates, underpinned by a pronounced spiciness and a herbaceous freshness. Palate: The attack is intense and centred on liquorice, whose root-like bitterness blends with a well-integrated sweetness. The texture is full-bodied and the balance between sweetness, spices and alcohol is remarkably well maintained. The finish is long and lingering. Overall impression: An intense and harmonious blend, where black liquorice is underpinned by a controlled sweetness and a full-bodied texture.
