Brilliant, deep ruby/purple color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of black currant and blackberry with supporting notes of forest floor, graphite, black pepper, rosemary, and black tea. The palate echoes the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black plum, five spice, blackberry, cardamon, and slate. The finish is long and lingering with chewy tannins. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a supple texture. $40 – 5 Stars/98 points

The palate confirms the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black cherry, black plum, iron, truffle, and tamari. The finish lingers with chewy tannins and tart berry accents.

Spirits Reviews
Linden Leaf 88 Organic Molecular Gin
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is quite expressive being led by complex citrus notes with beautiful, earthy grains of paradise, juniper, and hints of tart lemon and orange blossoms. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering an understated melange of botanicals with a lovely backdrop of juniper that carries vibrant accents of citrus and brown baking spices rising on the finish. Medium to full-bodied with ideal balance thanks to crisp acidity and perfectly integrated spice and citrus flavors. Bravo! $38.88 – 5 Stars
Linden Leaf Singularity Organic Molecular Vodka
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is complex and delicate with scents of orchard fruits followed by sweet grain notes with accents of mineral, wet river stones, chalk, dried flowers, and hints of white pepper. The palate echoes the nose while blossoming on the mid-palate delivering an expansive, grain-driven core with hints of pepper, and fresh-pressed ginger. Medium to full-bodied with a seductive, silky mouthfeel and elongated finish. $28.99 – 5 Stars
Cider
Tongue Dancer “Applelicious” Apple Cider (USA)
Bright gold/green color with a stream of fine bubbles. The aromatics are subtle but complex offering scents of bitter apple, peach stone, baked apples, and lemon zest with hints of iodine and bay leaf. The palate echoes the nose delivering an apple-driven core with waves of Asian pear, guava, and apple peel with bright citrus accents. Medium-bodied with abundant acidity that gives vibrancy while mild tannins give structure and length. $6/375ml can – 4.5 Stars
