| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
SKINOS |
| Clear and colourless. Sweet, spicy nose with some odd dill pickle notes. Better on the palate. Extremely sweet, medium bodied, very viscous, faintly cherry-tinged, candied powdered icing sugar flavours. This is seasoned with the sap of the Mastiha tree, a small evergreen native to the Mediterranean region. It has its fans but for me is an acquired taste. |

| TASTING NOTE: The Mastiha tree that provides the sap from which this exquisitely balanced liqueur is distilled grows only on the island of Chios – making this a truly unique drink. It is smooth with notes of herbal lemon grass surrounding a sweet core. Delicious in cocktails, this will also work chilled as an aperitif or digestif. (VINTAGES panel, Jan. 2014) |
