Nose

Crisp and herbal with sweet apricot, banana and pineapple, all gently coated in cinnamon and nutmeg and drizzled with maple syrup. Luscious and juicy with some rye-like herbal notes.

Palate

Oak dominated, which is a surprise given the nose. Citrus attempts to balance the toffee but the oak really bitters. Adds lovely pure cocoa, but it’s still bitter!

Finish

There is a touch of banana, toffee and vanilla but could do with more sweetness.

Comment

If only the palate mirrored the nose.
