Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm golden amber; light viscosity with thin legs. Clean and bright
Nose
Honeysuckle, peaches, and orange peel alongside clean cotton sheets and vanilla fudge. Oak, sandalwood, charred toffee and berries. A weighty dried fruit character balanced against fresh fruit
Palate
Tinned fruit — peaches and apricots alongside mango juice, tobacco leaves, and gingerbread. Chocolate and dusty cinnamon and ginger spices emerge in the mid-palate. Creamy toffee and floral oiliness joined by raisins and sultanas. Demerara sugar, dark chocolate, and light tobacco
Finish
Smooth and dry finish with hints of bitter plum. Spices linger alongside dried fruit. Medium length with residual warmth
