Andrew’s Tasting Note

Nose: honey and orange strike out first with a slight maritime hue and almost, curiously, some clean smoke; malty, dried apricots and peach eau de vie.

Palate: thick, honeyed and malty; oily and then bang… a wave of fruit: orange, apricot and peach; more salt and a whiff of smoke with some creamy-vanilla-oak-tones; very savoury with salted caramel.

Finish: light and fresh the oils, salt, honey hang on even after the fruit has vanished.

Comment: seems light but it catches you a bit by surprise; very fresh!”
