Tasting notes

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: Yellow bananas, dates and parma ham, warm copper, Christmas cake and a little sherry hit.
Palate: Big, dried fruit and aromatic spices. Jaffa cakes, fresh vanilla pods. Sweet creamy oak.
Finish: Warming and massively complex, a touch of butterscotch.
Comment: Serious stuff, actually just stunning and a very welcome addition to the growing pot still canon.
