Tamborine Mountain Distillery: 2 Gold & 2 Silver awards for Eaux de Vie at the BTI Chicago Spirits Competition
Clear. Bold aromas of strawberry compote, angel food cake, and custard with a silky, dry-yet-fruity medium-full body and an oily warming, freeze dried strawberry and potpourri accented finish.
Rich dried apricot, creamy apricot gelato, nutmeg, and faint herbal aromas with a supple fruity medium-full body and a captivating apricot sorbet, mint leaf, thyme honey, pink pepper, and mineral finish. Lovely flavor and vibrancy.
Clear. Aromas of spicy poached apple, ginger, and honey with a silky fruity medium-to-full body and a long, warming, apple cider, bubblegum, and slate finish.
International Review of Spirits Award: Silver Medal
Clear. Herbal accented aromas of creme Anglaise, pear tart, and menthol with a silky, soft, dryish medium body and a hot pear skin, pistachio gelato, thyme, and green peppercorn finish. A bit grappa-like, but very interesting.
International Review of Spirits Award: Silver Medal
RATING: 86 points (Highly Recommended)

invite select members
of the trade to join them as panelists in
blind tastings of specific categories of spirits.
