Nose
Dark fruits, black cherreis and black berries. Tiny hints of grape leaves and Greek olives. Has a slight vegital quality. Medium intensity. Pleasant and complex; above average.
Palate
More fruity than it smells. Black raspberries and black berries. Butteriness in both taste and feel. Traces of Greek olives, breadiness and smokiness bring some complexity. Dry. A very interesting drink that’s tasty and complex.
Finish
Medium and winey
Rating: 6
Overall
Tasty and complex, this is a good grappa. Didn’t know what to expect from Tree House since they are primarily focused on vodka and gin but this is good. Will look out for more interesting releases.
