No mean confection

The neat nose suggested linseed oil, lemon marmalade, hessian canvas, cedar wood and lemon thyme. There was also a wee scattering of milk bottle sweeties and custard creams. Reduction brought lemon oil, camphor and menthol balm, limoncello in tonic water, lime curd and bay leaf. The palate fizzed with orange popping candy at first, then evolved into ripe green melon, boiled citrus fruit sweets, dolly mixtures and candyfloss. Water balanced this with some softer, slightly sooty notes and more malty richness. Eventually, we found some lanolin and heather honey in the finish.
