A/ Official tasting notes

NOSE

Full and fruity with cherry and juicy red apple; caramel-infused coffee grounds and cocoa powder softened by a subtle backdrop of heather bonfire and hand-rolled sweet tobacco leaves, with herbal hints of cedar and fennel in the background.

PALATE

An explosion of sweet flavours — nut toffee brittle, raisin fudge and dark fruits (fig, damson, plump cherries) — balanced with a rockpool salinity; dark chocolate-coated raisins lead into chicory and sweet cinnamon spices with a curious drying sensation.

FINISH

Long and chewy with sweet treacle toffee, aniseed spice, coal tar soap and burning embers.
