The 18
------

ABV : 43%

Taste:Sweet vanilla with pear and fresh ginger notes.After 18 years of patient pursuit, 18 years of absorbing and evolving, our crisp and fruity spirit is enriched. The unexpected begins to emerge. What had been simple, becomes more subtle. Deeper dimensions unfurl and linger. A richly rounded flavour blooms.

Elemental elegance with effortless complexity.

### Aroma

Ripe pear and sweet vanilla pods, tempered by aromatic orange oil. Invigorating almond notes and a well-rounded fragrance add complexity, whilst a hint of dried ginger spice creates unassuming depth.

### Taste

A rich and deep flavour, alive with sweet ginger, pear and rose water. Aromatic fruit and light oak create gentle spice, which balances nicely against an undercurrent of creamy vanilla.
