Tasting Notes

FULL OF SWEET VANILLA AND HONEY.

Nose

Overridingly sweet initially, then warming to floral, light barley and spicy honeyed tones.


Palate

Opens in a spicy style with fructiferous notes of raisin and a sugary, fudgey character.


Finish

Subtle yet sweet with a real oaky flavour, hints of milky cereals and late meringue.
