Nose

Chewy and thick. Crème brûlée, nuts, pecan pie, dried peels. With water it's like a just-baked fruit cake. Sultana, buttered muffin, clootie dumpling.

Palate

Rounded and honeyed. Balanced grip mid-palate walnuts and caramelised fruits. Chewy.

Finish

Mix of dried fruits and caramel.

Comment
