Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Pencil shavings, cinnamon bubblegum, spun sugar, then into orange blossom, rose water and orange rind. Dusty bookshelves and a little incense. Creamy black cherry yoghurt with milky coffee.

Palate: Creamy with a spike of cherries in brandy. Almost like liquid tiramisu. Plenty of sweetness, vanilla, brown sugar and toffee apples.

Finish: Hot, spicy and short. The heat lingers with a touch of violets.

Comment: Packs a decent punch at this ABV and the finish is quite something.

Score: 7.2

Lyndsey Gray

Taster

Nose: An entire bowl of butterscotch Angel Delight, followed quickly by banana skin, coriander and traces of burnt cardboard, lighter fuel, pistachio ice cream and playdough.

Palate: Palate starts off bitter with toasted pistachios, flamed grapefruit zest and dark chocolate covered coffee beans. A salty sweetness develops with cookie dough, stewed rhubarb and barbequed bananas.

Finish: Short finish with a dry and chalky texture.

Comment: Bittersweet… one for the negroni and coffee lovers.

Score: 8.6
