The Grove American Style Spirit. Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia. ABV: 40.0%. Tasted at The Grove cellar door, $10.
Colour: Bright gold.

The Grove American Style Spirit “Distiller’s Cut”. Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia. ABV: 55.0%. Tasted at The Grove cellar door, $10.
Colour: Lustrous copper.

Finish: The warmth & flavours build.
Comments: A much better offering than the 40% release, lots more depth of flavour and interesting flavours to be honest. Still not the most polished drop, but not too bad.
