Rhine Hall Mango Brandy

3.13.22 Served: Neat, Flute Bottle open: Same Day Batch #0017 Aroma: Sweet, dried mango. Lacks the vivacity of cutting into a fresh mango, but that is to be expected of an unaltered distilled spirit. Flavor: Smooth, as many of Rhine Hall's products are. The flavor of mango is light when passing through, but completely coats the palate and lingers long after swallowing. No unpleasant qualities, a very delicate nature. Not offensive for neat sipping, but deserves the support of proper mixing. I'm curious to see how well it mixes.

Fantastic. Straight, notes of green mango, a slight musty funk. As it opens over ice a slight sweetness appears. Add just a touch of lime and Cointreau and it transforms into a ripe juicy fresh mango flavor; really remarkable. A shame it was a limited run. Makes the case for mangoes to be a more popular choice for distillation and to perhaps even have their own category.
