JULY PREVIEWS: FEAST ON RARE, EXOTIC FLAVOURS
Picture market stalls overflowing with tropical fruits, walk through them and let the exotic aromas excite your senses. Tucked away in the corner, you come across a fruit so rare you can’t identify it but comparisons start coming to mind: “Hubba-bubba!” you think, “Or maybe mango? No. Monstera…”
Sweet, fruity & mellow
117.3 Hubba-bubba, mango and Monstera
VERY RARE IRISH SINGLE CASK!
The palate had an amusing, mouth-tickling effect like tiny leprechauns River-dancing on our tongues; sherbet, Monstera, mango, rhubarb and blackcurrant jam on toast – a sunny, honeyed, Sunday afternoon feel…
