Ripe pear, quince and apple are immediately apparent in the aroma, whilst taking a more austere role in the taste, as the green juicy fruits complement the fragrant citrusy notes from the bergamot.
“From the 17th Century onwards punch reigned supreme, from the high seas to English nobility. Although open to interpretation it is typically accepted that a punch combines something strong, something weak, something sour and something sweet. Our punch takes inspiration from very traditional ingredients that would be demanded in the 18th Century, such as a fine brandy base, tea and spice.”
