Nose Through oily barley and double vanilla bourbon ice cream, there’s stewed apricots, wet grass and touches of fruitcake. Subtle spices percolate throughout.
Palate Complex fruit notes come from white grape and tinned pear, while a creamy element continues to sweeten things, developing into rhubarb tart and custard. There’s a suggestion of black fruit and ripe malt on the mid-palate among cooking apples and dark caramel.
Finish The finish dries slightly with a chestnut-like note and hit of clove spice.
Overall A little rich and very well layered, this should work in a number of cocktails.
