Tasting Notes
The nose conveyed lots of fruity garden vibes: collecting windfall apples, picking brambles in the sun, rosemary, verbena and fruits in a wooden bowl. The palate lingered over old-school fruit-flavoured boiled sweets, Edinburgh rock and lemon drizzle cake, before a warming finish of stem ginger, hot cross buns and cardamom. In reduction, the nose found tinned peaches and apricot danish pastries, sandalwood, potpourri and a spicy mix of cinnamon toast, liquorice and ginger cake. Fruity flavours danced on our tongues – amarena cherries with ice cream, rum and raisin fudge, mango, apple and pomegranate – culminating in a mouth-drying finish of halva, liquorice, salted almonds and pencil ends.
