Tasting Notes
The nose had Turkish coffee, slightly burnt apple pie and sticky toffee pudding with ginger pieces; then an earthiness like opening up a tobacco salesman’s briefcase. On the palate, chilli chocolate, treacle and iced caramels sat alongside hot cross buns, cumin seeds, tree bark and wasabi. The reduced nose gave us ginger beer, rainbow drops, worn leather gloves, hints of lime pickle and "climbing an apple tree near a zoo". The reduced palate had salted caramel, barley sugars and foamy bananas, lime cordial and orange blossom and a finish of cardamom, bay leaf and wooden chopsticks – a rather changeable and intriguing sample.
