Limestone Branch @TweetTastings

Limestone Branch Distillery teased us with some of their bottlings in a recent @TweetTastings.



Here's my thoughts and those of a few friends!




My thoughts
:

Appearance: Transparent in the glass, swirls leave a thin line which beads up immediately and falls as slow thin oily legs.

Nose: Very fragrant, coriander to  start with some berry fruit and citrus in the background.

Palate: Thick sweet arrival, all the notes from the nose along with some peppery spice, toffee and a little salinity. The herbal notes continue on the tongue as the liquid disappears.

Finish: Short, slightly dry with citrus and spice.

My thoughts

Appearance: dark gold almost bronze in the glass, swirls leave a thin line in the glass, bead up slowly and fall as thin oily legs.

Nose: Honey nut cornflakes, berry fruit, vanilla but not a lot of rye spice. Some citrus and pine needles. 

Palate: Thin sweet arrival, gentle rye spice, a little liquorice, Parma violets and honey. There's some berry notes from the sherry cask, some nuttiness and a dry peppery spice as the liquid disappears.

Finish: Lingering rye spice and dry pepper.

My thoughts

Appearance: dark gold almost bronze in the glass, swirls leave a thin line in the glass which immediately bead up and fall as thin oily legs.

Nose: Burnt toffee, mixed nuts, orange zest, honey and a hint of spice. Icing sugar suggesting dryness.

Palate: Thick sweet arrival that immediately turns sour - orange to grapefruit. There's honey, vanilla and toasted nuts here too. Some rye like spices. Turns dry and slightly sour as the liquid disappears - very strange.

Finish: Lingering dry vanilla and lots of peppery and cinnamon spice.
