Nose
Preserved lemons, sugar flowers and freshly cut grass. Old-fashioned sweetshop notes of kola kubes, sherbet lemons and nuttle brittle develop. Sitting just behind is a ball of slightly sour fruit – fleshy Seville oranges and unripe mango – all balanced out by sweet, minty candy and sugared almonds.
Palate
Green grass and barley sugar lead to royal icing, buttermints and just-slapped mint sprigs. There's a touch of zing and darkness behind, with barrel char and stewed lemons joined by gentle spice. The spice softens to aromatic oak as the icing returns, accompanied by mint fondant creams.
Finish
Aniseed ball heat and fresh-cut-oak spice give way to stewed Granny Smith apples, lemon zest and lingering spiced sponge cake.
