Taster

Nose: Ginger and plum pudding dusted with five spice. Fleshy red apples and banana bread with golden sultanas. Water relaxed the grippy rye and opened orange peel and maple syrup.

Palate: Hot, perfumed and polished wood. A curious hint of fermenting beer and rising sourdough bread with cinnamon. Rich oak with gentle glycerine \nand beeswax. \n

Finish: Sizzling twig, then waxy, fruity and sweet.

Comment: A slight disconnect between nose and palate but give it time.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Fresh pine sap, polished oak, burnt coconut and a hint of vanilla, coupled \nwith lashings of caramel sauce.

Palate: Very spirity, with a wash of slightly dry oak, a little caramel and a hint of dried fruit.\n

Finish: Short with a hint of drying oak.

Comment: Not a great deal to go on here, I'm afraid. It feels rushed and unbalanced.

Score: 8.2
