Taste note
-
Colour:
Deep amber
-
Nose:
A sweet nose with lots of influence of white peach, blanched almonds, honeycomb and heavy florals – honeysuckle. A rest in the glass drops some of the tart fruits and yields some white chocolate.
-
Palate:
Medium-full body. Clean cereals (puffed malted barley) with a touch of peat (really more of an earthiness than smoke or real peat). In the background, a reprise of the aroma’s fruit-and-flowers routine, but overshadowed by the directness of the barley.
-
Finish:
Short. Marzipan, a slight oaky bitterness, and faintly fruity. Fades with mouth-drying tannins.
