Taster

Nose: Baked Seville orange and summer ripe strawberries with honey drizzle. Morello cherries and a delicate splash of violet gomme syrup. Water brought out softer floral notes and orange bath bomb.

Palate: A rich earthiness and chewy caramel toffee. Freshly peeled mandarin skins and almond nut from the tree. Softly warming honey and orange hot toddy.

Finish: Sticky and mouth filling, then soothing.

Comment: A gentle personality and a crowd pleaser.

Score: 8.1

Taster

Nose: Rose petals, dried Pot Pourri, some dry cider, golden syrup, a little stewed fruit and floral hand soap.

Palate: Quite youthful, but vibrant. Lemon zest, fresh peaches and cream, light vanilla tones and rich tea biscuits all round out a delicate palate.

Finish: Short, with a resonance of the peaches and cream, with a little of the apple/cider note lingering further in.

Comment: As we reach the end of the summer, drams like this become less appealing, so here's to the last few weeks of outdoor weather to enjoy this one.

Score: 8.3
