Pivot to petrichor

A leafy and honeyed nose greeted the Panel, with further impressions noted of black forest gâteau, boozy cherries, darjeeling tea and milk chocolate. Reduction brought coconut dipped in dark chocolate, red berry fruitiness, granola drizzled with honey and deeper hints of walnut oil and camphor. The neat palate was full of caramel wafers, dried flowers, mint tea, sweet heather ales and an earthy, vegetal hint of roasted red peppers. Water delivered a subtle umami note, with preserved lemons, salted black liquorice, treacle and yeast extract. This was matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead for seven years before being transferred to a first fill oloroso-seasoned STR barrique.
