The Bastard No.3 Tasting Notes

Nose: Captivating, like uncovering a dusty treasure from an old dunnage warehouse. Aromas of candied peach candy, honey and liquorice wafts through the air, mingling with subtle wood notes that hint at the Bastards depth and complexity. Did someone mention ‘popcorn’? The nose invites you to explore its layers. A few drops of water reveal delicate floral scents and a sparkling fruitiness, reminiscent of a spring morning in a blossoming orchard.

Palate: A playful yet layered flavour profile unfolds. Can this really be just 7 years old? Dutch ‘trekdrop’ liquorice dominates, with rich, deep liquorice flavours making a strong impression. Tutti Frutti and candied fruit add a cheerful sweetness that keeps everything in balance. The alcohol stays in the background, letting the funky character shine.

Finish: Elegant, with liquorice notes returning, now accompanied by subtle charcoal, rooibos, and a hint of sweet-sour fruit compote, providing a surprising and refreshing contrast.
