Cactus Report post Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Has anyone mentioned John Barleycorn? Am dying to try it but never seem to get round to listing a decant of it, wondering how beery it'd be. Ooooh, John Barleycorn! I would describe it as "medium" on the beer. It has a definite rich beer smell, but that shades nicely into the grain and dried grasses. It also has just a tiny "edge" of the harder stuff. To me, it invokes more the wheat berries and maybe a fermenting keg than "omg a big glass of beer". I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but Grand Guignol - sweet apricot brandy. Lovely apricot scent, but not overly sweet. Instead, it's definitely boozy and almost skin musk like. Definitely sensual. From the 2015 Lupers, Seated Couple Leaning on Hips - Sake, skin musk, and ambrette seed. Very pure sake scent. But also had a little bit of a floral edge on me, which made it not quite my cup of tea... but maybe someone else's. Edited June 11, 2015 by Cactus Share this post Link to post
