Conclusions - Quality Level: Acceptable
- Assessment of Quality: This spirit demonstrates a basic consistency in aroma and flavour profiles, characterized by its simple and straightforward nature. The high alcohol content overshadows the subtle flavours derived from its base ingredients, leading to a predominance of solvent-like notes which diminish the spirit's overall complexity and appeal. Improvement in the spirit's integration of alcohol and refinement in distillation could enhance its textural qualities and overall sensory balance. This would potentially elevate the spirit's profile, making it more appealing and complex.
