Nose: Apple strudels, honeysuckle and the rich spice of cinnamon and clove rise through charred oak and an autumn bonfire. Galaxy Caramel, creamy vanilla and a hint of pine nuts with aromatic red chilli form the backdrop.
Palate: White pepper and soft wood spice cut through honeyed barley, sliced pear, beeswax and cocoa butter, before cigar box and oak char emerge. The palate is a little hoppy in places, but doesn’t stagnate as gingerbread and black cherries maintain the backdrop.
Finish: The finish is drying and a tad bitter. There’s a beautifully decadent warm fudge conclusion with a little red fruit.
Overall: A blend that makes for perfect company in the autumnal months - or in a Whisky Sour!
