Distillery: Saint Lucia Distillers Ltd.
Date distilled: 2007
ABV: 59%
Nose: Whoa. Molasses, black tar, sharpie, fresh sage, orange oil, prickly and herbal. On a second pass, banana and vanilla, charred oak, fruit flowers, and tons of sugar to balance out the grassy notes.
Palate: Funky phenols with a bitter oak punch up front. Plenty of cinnamon and allspice and nutmeg. Then a flood of interesting fruit notes. Fermenting papayas. Mushy kiwis. Orange rinds. Spice flows through it all.
Overall: Funky and complex. A tropical and phenolic adventure accompanied by familiar spices.
