What do reviewers say about The Lion Cupboard and Himiko?
Sarah McCartney doesn't smooth things over. This has edges. A tangy, fruity-wood structure with real punk in it, the aniseed bites, the tobacco warms, and the whole thing gets close to the skin and.The Lion Cupboard
Himiko sits in the gap between fruity and smoky, too tropical for winter snobs, too resinous for summer brights. If you want safe, look elsewhere. If you want plum that smells like it's been burning.Himiko
