Tasting Notes
The nose gave a real blast of the outdoors – hay, heather and honeysuckle, elderflower, nettles and mint – along with honey, dried pineapple, pain au chocolat and a suspicion of putty. The palate was also floral and herbal, with cloudy lemonade and sugar-shelled chocolate confectionery, waxed jackets and oiled wood, before a warming finish of black pepper, ginger and wasabi. The reduced nose seemed sweeter – popcorn, vanilla, digestives and caramel apple granny cake, alongside some aromatic botanicals (juniper, orange peel, coriander seed, lavender and hops). The palate now gave us orange oil, eucalyptus and bitter chocolate, with a finish of sugar-coated fennel seeds and aniseed balls.
