Tasting notes

Taster Gavin D. Smith

Nose: Very sweet, with nougat, egg custard and all-spice.
Palate: Full-bodied, plump cereal, brittle toffee, spicy oak and hazelnuts.
Finish: Lingering soft toffee notes, spice and glace cherries.

8.8

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: Huge sweet hit at first, burnt sugar, caramel and dark chocolate. Spicy oak follows with Chantilly cream and a little nutmeg.
Palate: Big and bold, mouth coating with toffee and caramel notes. The oak is here too bringing spices and soft cream pastries.
Finish: Long and sweet.
Comment: Nothing small about this, but it is all in balance.
