Some spirits reward patience. This one demanded it.
The Fig Jam began in the fermentation tanks, wild native yeast, wild bacteria, working together to build the rich, complex foundation that only a completely uncontrolled fermentation can produce. From there, double copper pot distillation. And then six years, five months and eleven days in a single oak barrel.
What emerged is unlike anything that could have been planned.
Maple syrup, burnt raw sugar and crème brûlée on the nose, deep, caramelised and immediately compelling. Then roasted Turkish figs and dried prunes, dried orange, apple and pear. Dark chocolate and mocha arriving quietly at the back, adding the kind of depth that only time in barrel can build.
On the palate, everything the nose promised and more. Full-bodied, richly textured and powerful at 58.5% ABV, yet six years of patient, sub-tropical maturation has brought every element into a cohesive, integrated expression that is greater than the sum of its parts.
The finish is long. Very long. And it darkens beautifully as it fades.
58.5% ABV. 700ml. 101 bottles produced.
