700ml mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: Fresh peppermint leaves create a cooling herbaceousness that mingles with elegant heathery smoke. Velvety dark chocolate takes centre stage with the soft, grassy smoke remaining in the background.
Palate: Florentine biscuits fresh from the oven, bring to the fore sweet golden syrup, bright candied ginger, cinnamon and dark chocolate. Smouldering heather wafts across the palate but it doesn’t pull focus from the lusciousness of spice and chocolate.
Finish: Morello cherries steeped in syrup are served with a dollop of cream and freshly dark chocolate shavings. A freshly brewed peppermint tea keeps the dram beautifully balanced as it finishes long and fresh.
