- Nose
- Sponge cake with a whiff of lemon and quite some honey and vanilla. After a little while it becomes more fruity, with more lemon, apples and pears. Very fruity. Confit pears, apple crisps, jelly babies, birch sap, wheat beer, orange bitters, tinned fruit salad juice.
- Palate
- Warming with a nice tingling sensation. Not as dry as the nose was, but there still is a note of honey and fruit. Candied lemon, baked apple and pear. A minor note of iron. Heather, oak, vanilla, some pastry notes too. Lots of crisp fresh autumn fruits; apple, pear, damson, plum, pineapple, agave syrup, lemon zest, empire biscuit & floral honey.
- Finish
- Not overly long and focuses slightly more on the dry notes of heather, wood and apples. Sweetness is rather diminished. Charred oak, custard creams, damson skin, cooked apple sauce, soft tannin.
