Deluxe Blend

generally five volumes of water for one volume of pastis

with a good balance of acidity and mellowness giving it good length

mostly on dried plums and salt…

liquorice and peppermint

Aromas of violets and ripe fruit with hints of wet earth and sage

On the palate dry and delicate with touches of toasted almonds from the Tio Pepe casks and raisins from the Matusalem casks

more marzipan

but why not try it with a block of ice
