Tasting Notes
Spring time, walking through the sea buckthorn tunnel to the beach in East Lothian, munching digestive biscuits – the sea breeze hits you on its way to the fields of green barley; that’s the nose. The palate combines lemon barley sugars and citric peel with custard creams, leaving a finish of ginger, cinnamon and cask char. A drop of water livens up the nose – opening a sweetie shop door to toffee, lemon bonbons and fizzy sherbet lemons – also freeze dried strawberries and hazelnuts. The palate is now a sweet, creamy, nutty combination of condensed milk, halva, nougat, sesame seeds and sugared almonds.
