Description

The team at the Circumstance distillery try and get as much flavour into their spirits as possible. They achieve this by using organic mash bills, beer, wine yeast and long open fermentations. They also mature the spirits in a variety of woods. The distillery itself is located in Bristol, England and some notable Bristolians include Banksy and Massive Attack. Come to think of it, I've never seen B ... The distillery is known for its 'flavour first' approach, utilizing multi-grain mash bills, brewing yeasts, and seriously long open fermentations, with aging usually kept to a minimum to preserve the spirit's flavors.

Nose
Nutmeg and mace-spiced gram crackers mellow out into apple, rhubarb and raisin strudel where the fruit is cooked and the outside is flakey, but the pastry inside is still underdone and a bit doughy. Over time the vanilla rises and the pastry becomes overcooked Belgian waffles while the fruit changes into clementine altoids. Korean ginger tea takes over the spice but someone dropped a teabag of chamomile in the cup too, along with a mixed teaspoon of golden and cola syrups.
Palate
Sticky-sweet dark honey, jaggery and syrupy Indian desserts, and honeycomb toffee but all orange-tinged with candied peel. The stickiness is then picked up by American brown honey mustard and grippily intensifies via semi-drying spice of woody cinnamon and stem ginger.
Finish
Herbal notes of lemon thyme and oregano are suspended in golden syrup along with white pepper and marmalade. Rounded fried plantain followed by just-burnt toast and irish cappuccino coffee bring a rounded boozy bitterness lifted by brown sugar, cardamom and warming muted chili.
