Nose: Werther’s Original, maple syrup and plenty of estery fruit initially, followed by sumptuous creamed corn, vanilla essence, almond butter and coconut oil. Underneath there’s milk chocolate, Madeira cake, just a hint of mixed herbs and a note reminiscent of tangerine marmalade on thick white bloomer bread. It then keeps going with touches of fresh linen, ginger biscuits, sweet tobacco and peppermint tea.
Palate: Vanilla fudge, ripe pears, warm golden syrup and some praline, then coconut flakes, salted popcorn and a twist of black pepper. Orange peel, a slightly herbal note of green tea with honey and an underlying chardonnay note and slight metallic element add depth.
Finish: Malted milk biscuits, some woodiness and an aromatic touch of lemongrass.
