Nose: Lemon drizzle, warm sugared doughnuts, a touch of bitter citrus pith, orange oil, and porridge oats. Distant notes of wood polish and green pepper nestle beneath.
Palate: Soft and spicy all at once! A cushion of cream and custard counters a punchy delivery of pepper, ginger, and dried chilli, before quickly mellowing with buttery oak, vanilla, and popcorn.
Finish: Warming spices rest at the core with notes of butterscotch and syrupy flapjack, fiery bourbon, and Malted Milk biscuits. Those dried chilli flakes come back for the finale with an enjoyable burst of warmth.
