Cheeky!

We found a wonderfully bright, citric and mineral profile on first nosing. The Panel noted many lovely aromas of barley sugars, freshly starched fabrics, gorse flower, white tea and lanolin, with subtle waxiness in the background. With reduction it became even more aromatically detailed, revealing birch sap, dried rosemary, a sooty coal scuttle and menthol and camphor balm. The neat palate was sweeter than expected, with lemon bonbons, lemon barley water, olive oil, hessian and herbal teas with honey. Reduction brought unexpected notes of rice wine, waxes, crushed green herbs, wildflowers full of pollen, ointments and heather ale.
