Nose: Crisp green apples, vanilla fudge, and chocolate raisins, with some drying herbs in the distance.
Palate: Soft fruits with summer berries and creamy apricot, more milky chocolate, and biscuity malt follow, with bold oak char and a prickle of pepper.
Finish: The pepper builds with gentle heat towards the end along with shavings of ginger. Honeyed fruit brings sweet balance.
