TASTING NOTES:

Nose
It’s light and heady to begin with. There’s an instant smell of malt, and a perfume-y floral scent that shoots right up the nose. Returning to the glass and there’s definitely a good fruity vibe amongst the smells, with plums, damsons and oranges coming to mind. It remains quite light and heady for some time and is pretty much popping out of the glass. Given time though and there is some easygoing vanilla and honey in there once it all dies down and a gentle spice.

Taste
Lots of flavours popping off the tongue now: sherbet, malt, peach, malt, pineapple, malt, passion fruit, malt, melba toast, malt and then lots of honey – not just honey sweetness either but that slightly cloying, herbal/floral note that you get from good honey too. And malt. Of course.

Finish
A little acidic and bitter after all that sweetness with the oak spice closing out on the finish – think cardamom, ginger and nutmeg. You have enough time to get to grips with these flavours too as the finish lingers.
