| SMALL BATCH DISTILLERS SWEET VERMOUTH Niagara, Ontario |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
DILLON'S |
| This new Vintages Essential was not presented at the press and/or consultants preview in the LCBO lab. Here is our recent previous review from May 27, 2017: Light amber colour. Attractive, extremely spicy, licorice-tinged, slightly spicy, ripe plum-dried cherry nose with some sandalwood notes. Sweet, medium bodied, spicy, somewhat honeyed, faintly bitter, fairly intense, Amaro-licorice-bright citrus flavours with a lingering crisp finish. Has 17% alcohol and 143 g/L residual sugar. This preferred new “Batch #2” has the vanilla scaled back, but a bit more wormwood and sarsaparilla has been added plus the sugar has been increased. Batch #1 appeared in Vintages (**+) on December 10, 2016 at $19.95 and was Recommended. The current review on the LCBO website is for the previous Batch #1. Also, the review in the Vintages Catalogue incorrectly says that it is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. In fact, it is based on Viognier. |
