PIQUE-NIQUE

Golden meadow, babbling brook, zephyr breeze, azure sky; a lazy, hazy dejeuner sur l’herbe under dappled relief, a blanket on the grass & time on one’s hands. Pique-Nique is an occasional, lighthearted, seasonal dram created with only such frivolous bucolic pleasures in mind – Head Distiller Ned’s little summer pudding of Single Farm Origin synthesis.

Appearance: A peach blush with luscious oils.

Nose: Strawberries & cream, a walk through a garden in summer bloom, pear peeling, freshly cut grass, carrot cake, sea mist, toasted almonds, hay dust, mint chocolate, mixed berries.

Taste: Dry but mouth puckering with a spice heat that grows and lingers, dark chocolate with sultans, coriander, blood oranges, crème brûlée, peppercorns, porridge and honey, ginger, plums, bell peppers.

Finish: Lingering spice that goes from dry to chewy, a summers nose and a taste to take you to a balmy summers night.
