Vegetal. And mineral. A pirate among waters. True to its name, lively and zesty. Spirited. Like a gin, with the herbal influences, but drying and wooded, like a teak, or still as strange, an oak barreled grain based vodka. A very soft and very long finish of pencil shavings buzzes like a plush bubble bee dusted with coal smoke on the back sides of tongue. Was there a fire nearby? Drink tap, if you can instead.
