Ouzo Plomari (20cl, 40%)

Ouzo Plomari is a Greek aniseed spirit named after the town of Plomari on the island of Lesbos. It is bottled at 40% in a 20cl size. Fifteen fruits and herbs go into it, among them fennel, cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg and mastic, the resin of the pistachio tree. It is distilled twice in copper stills. It starts mild, then brings spice and a peppery bite, with clear aniseed and sweet liquorice. Fresh and warming in the mouth, it ends dry with a citrus blossom character.
