If Pooh’s chum Tigger had a sister this is it and she’s called Ester, but like Tig she’s all over the place, charming and very challenging. The majority of the experience from the start is fruity esters, bananas, cream soda, Demerara sugar, bouncing all over the place and from the very first instant. On the mouth cool, chocolate and sweetness on the side of the tongue (not possible surely?). Water beefs up the fruit, then, out of the blue, tobacco! Flip-me! Where did that come from?

Ace for all the fun. Square I7 on the Flavour Map, I think.
