Tasting Notes
The perfume of an ice cream van, an old-timey school desk and papaya-infused linseed putty greeted us on the nose. The palate was awash with cherries and berries, banana and crème brûlée topped with chestnut paste and a silky bramble jelly. Water invited further bramble to the nose, along with shoe polish, beurre noisette, dark chocolate-coated marzipan and overripe bramley apples. The palate retained its silky, mouthcoating texture, enhanced by chantilly cream, mace and yet more bramble jelly, topped with salted caramel. After 14 years in a custom-toasted, high-lactone American oak cask, we transferred this to a first fill barrique for the remainder of its maturation.
