A serious example of blending. Layers hit you one by one, each adding to the one before. Fantastic.

Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Soft sweetcorn bread and honey notes. Toasted marshmallows and a little strawberry and black pepper. Hot chocolate and nutmeg.

Palate: All that sugar sweetness is right up front. Tablet, rum and raisin fudge, caramel ice cream, it just keeps on going. Glacé cherries and apricot pieces from granola, a little hint of dried goji berries too.

Finish: Massive sugar rush then it slowly dries into salted caramel and toffee-laden wafers.

Comment: A serious example of blending. Layers hit you one by one, each adding to the one before. Fantastic.

Score: 8.8

Lyndsey Gray

Taster

Nose: One fruity number with waves of baked apples and strawberry Calpol. Pineapple cubes bringing extra sweetness alongside crystalised ginger pieces and menthol gum.

Palate: The sweet ginger spice and herbal notes follow through. Hints of apple and cinnamon crumble, blueberry ice cream and burnt coconut appear amongst the spice.

Finish: A long finish with the spices carrying on. A malty texture joins in.

Comment: Well balanced yet still allowing flavours to have their own solo moments to shine throughout.

Score: 8.5
