Whisky in 1920's Blenders Glass. Colour: Riesling yellow; Mood: melancholic. Series: The Crown.
Nose: After about 20 minutes: Confectionery store, a pool of sweets - head in there. Members of the

melon family give each other the scepter. Honey, Gaia, Sugar. Hm, the watermelon doesn't do the honors. Vanilla pudding, cheesecake and rice pudding with cinnamon join the court. In the background, mulberries crown the posturing. Apricot, physalis and a rotten lemon among the infantry.
After 40 min: Roasted nuts mixed with lime zest as a topping on a citrus sorbet.
Mouth: After about 41 min: acrid, mouth numbing, cinnamon spiciness, nutmeg, astringent. Accidentally bitten through and spat out orange seeds, ...not amused...
Fourth sip: bitten through lemon seeds, chewed on out of embarrassment and swallowed.
Finish: A royal flush of lemon, effervescent tablets and hops.
Four teaspoons of water:
Nose: Ice Cuja Mara Split. Malt, IPA with Cascade and Citra hops. Sharbat, lemon sorbet, banana, coconut, vanilla and softcake orange.
Mouth: Orange seeds become apple seeds. Pepper, Lemon Verbena Tea. Ginger. waxy
Finish: Obstler, Eau de Vie de Mirabelle, very unripe pears. Grappa. Impeccable departure.
RIP Your Highness.
