Score: 7.3

Taster

Nose: Fragrant to start, then becomes increasingly oily and rich: cloutie dumpling, cooked fruits, spices, syrup; then saddle soap, coffee, nut and light camphor.

Palate: Generous, thick and smooth with an oily feel and overall sweetness. Golden syrup.

Finish: Nutty and oily. Empire biscuits, almond.

Comment: It ain't subtle, but it's well worth trying.

Score: 8
