Poli Esperienza Mignon Grappa Tasting Set 4x5cl 30-40%

Four small bottles, four very different stories. From young and fresh to cask-aged and, finally, sweet — Esperienza Mignon is a quick tour through Poli's stylistic range without having to open a whole shelf of full-size bottles.

Expert description

Poli Esperienza Mignon Grappa Tasting Set is a collection of four 5 cl miniature bottles from Poli Distillerie in Schiavon, Veneto, with an alcohol content that varies between 30% and 40% depending on the individual bottle. The set contains Sarpa di Poli, PO di Poli Morbida, Cleopatra Amarone Oro and Poli Elisir Camomilla.

The three grappas each represent a different category within Poli's range: a young, direct grappa, a softer and rounder style, and a cask-aged grappa made from the marc of the Amarone grapes Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. Elisir Camomilla, by contrast, is a sweeter chamomile liqueur that shows an entirely different side of the distillery.

Because the contents span several distillation methods and cask types, the set is meant as an introduction — a chance to taste through Poli's philosophy of gentle, steam-heated distillation before settling on a favourite full-size bottle.

Tasting notes

Nose

A range from fresh grapes and white flowers in the young grappa to toasted almonds and ripe red berries in the cask-aged one, while the chamomile liqueur offers honey and dried herbs.

Palate

From the crisp, clean fullness of the young grappa, via the soft, almost velvety structure of the Morbida style, to the warm, nutty sweetness of the Amarone expression.

Finish

Short and clean in the young styles, longer and warmer in the cask-aged one, while the liqueur closes gently and aromatically with chamomile and honey.
