Nose
Heather honey and lemon curd on buttered white toast. Some salinity and a little minerality. Vanilla fudge, fresh linen, apple boiled sweets and a fresh fruit salad sprinkled with lime zest. A fresh and clean nose. Water brings out more fudge, new leather and praline.
Palate
The abv makes its presence felt. Syrupy sweet on arrival with those apple candies, tinned pineapple and vanilla fudge. Then a good whack of clove and pepper spice hits mid palate. This turns to tart citrus - lemon and lime slices plus a very gentle wisp of smoke. Wet cardboard too. Water brings draff, brown sugar and fresh danish pastries.
Finish
Medium length - sharp citrus, spice and orchard fruits.
