Tasting Notes

Green banana, wet gravel, white pepper, olive brine, sugarcane pith, funky esters, mineral salinity, vegetal bite, tropical fruit, gasoline (in the best way). Each distillery reads completely different - Sajous runs earthy-mineral, Vaval runs coastal-saline, Le Rocher runs fruity-floral.
