Rated by: Thijs Klaverstijn, 85/100

Nose: Fresh fruits like red apple and banana peel, followed by subtle notes of sandal wood and cardboard, with a slight waxiness to boot. Hints of juniper and cloves too, as well as some lemon custard.
Taste: Hints of saw dust, but also plenty of citrus notes, such as lemon and apricots, and even some mango. However, this is not as fruity as it may sound. It has a tannic layer too, with a spicy bitterness and earl grey tea.
Finish: Lingering bitterness. Medium in length.
