Tasting Notes
On the nose, some sharp fruity notes (strawberry, gooseberry and cranberry) were appeased by softer aromas of toasted coconut and flaked almonds, mashed banana, rose petals and white chocolate. The palate was mainly a biscuit feast of coconut protein cereal bars, flapjack digestives and ginger snaps, with ginger and pepper spices building over time to dominate the finish. The reduced nose was a bit of a re-run – freeze-dried strawberries and raspberries and fruit pastilles alongside chocolate-coated peanuts, caramel, toffee and toasted oak. The palate was now lightly creamy and waxy – lemon bonbons, Kendal mint cake, vanilla ice-cream and birthday cake candles.
