Tasting notes

Taster Dominic Roskrow

Nose: Toffee,coffee ice cream,maple syrup.
Palate: Clean,sharp and bitter orange and citrus notes,but ordered and quite complex.Spice suggests age.
Finish: Curiously captivating,with a sweet and sour ping pong match and a hint of smoke.
Comment: Sweet enough to be attractive,sharp enough not to be cloying and spicy enough to prickle the tastebuds.A winner.
