Cornflakes in the treetops

Cornflakes swam in milky iced chai, sweetened with pine resin and birch sap. The palate was warming cardamom, toasted oats and peach syrup plus a spoonful of cranachan studded with red berries and vanilla. Water offered a sweet black tea on the nose, with slapped mint leaves and cedar bark sprinkled with crushed blackberry juice. The finish was mellow, with sweet clove in warm orange juice, raspberry, coconut and melon. After 10 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this to a first fill charred and toasted American oak barrique for the remainder of its maturation.
