Simple stuff, but the epitome of sweetness and light. It’s does exactly what I want a blend to do: it’s tasty and easy to drink.

Tasting Notes

Christopher Coates

Taster

Nose: Crème fraîche, vanilla, lemon meringue pie, and lime juice. Delicate white flower notes, cornbread, and caramel.

Palate: Light bodied. Vanilla syrup, milk cookie with white chocolate, runny icing, and baked green apple. Blossom honey and sugar puff cereal.

Finish: Short. Honeydew melon and mandarin pith.

Comment: Simple stuff, but the epitome of sweetness and light. It’s does exactly what I want a blend to do: it’s tasty and easy to drink.

Score: 7.6

Bethany Whymark

Taster

Nose: Caramelised pineapple, milk chocolate, and a hint of rose. Orange peel, crystallised ginger, and macadamia nut. A touch of eraser. Red apple peel, brown sugar latte, and wholewheat bread.

Palate: Medium. Lime cordial, dried apple pieces, malted milk ice-cream, and rich vanilla. Savoury wholewheat toast. Bitter espresso, sponge fingers, and creamy dark chocolate – tiramisu-like.

Finish: Medium, on strawberry and minty dark chocolate.

Comment: The pale hue belied its richness of flavour.

Score: 8.3
