Owners Simon Brooke-Taylor and Wendy Williams craft a range of artisanal spirits. The main botanicals for their pastis are native aniseed myrtle and round-leaf mintbush. There’s a strong character in this pastis, fresh chamomile flowers and herbal tea, wild honey and fennel, herb garden, quince skin—all beautifully concentrated and with great depth of detailed flavour. Earthy notes of mushroom, sage, and caraway, along with hints of dark chocolate wrapper create a savoury, bitter finish. A wonderfully composed pastis.
