Nosey. Just 'testing' it. Cheesey bananas with wood varnish and something Fran calls Grolla which I think is Grappa. Mixed peel, oranges, grapefruit, celery and olive oil. Jamie was unconvinced about whether it was minty, but if it was minty it was minty like a humbug.

Oily. Lovely oranges, christmas cake, solero and syrup and delicious fizzy cola cubes and banana milk. But with a dental theme - toothpaste steradent car air freshener pine lime. Then a dark twist with memories of sour mash, Fran's youth and burnt pepper.


The bottle design went down well on the finish. It's like waking up to some horrific morning after a party - a salty Ginster's pasty, charcoal, post vomit mouthwash, Andrew's salts, flat coke and something undefinable mushy and unpleasant. Ooh but whats' this - some lime pickle and a cherry lollipop to save the day.

Silky. A nice JD.
