Clove-studded orange, fresh custard and raspberry jam, with buttery caramel, fresh peach and a touch of pine. Cinnamon-spiced stewed apple makes an appearance.
A rich, oily mouthfeel, with sweet and spicy notes balancing well. Candied ginger and more of that custard, with tinned peach, damp oak and honey.
Sweet cinnamon and peppery oak, with tobacco and more creamy vanilla lingering.
