[Spring 2019 harvest]
This one has a classic MLX aroma at first – sweet, perfumy with a hint of cake scent. Once wet, the leaves smell like drinking hot apple and smoking shisha next to a clean fireplace in a wooden cabin.
The liquor has a slick, colloidal and not too thick texture with mild bubbliness. It is numbing and I find it actually very easy to drink, especially before some mild astringency arrives around steep #4.
The taste is also super smooth. It is more savoury and mineral than the average MLX and reminds me of hot apple cider at times. There are also flavours of apricots, ghee, wet rocks, molasses and caramelized carrots. In the warming aftertaste, I also get a hint of wild honey.
