Taster

Nose: Cream cheese hits first, then a hint of marzipan and vanilla oats. Elderflower enters and bright orchard fruits, followed by cinnamon and furniture polish.

Palate: Dried old pine, with just a hint of sweet smoke on a s’more. Heather honey and elderflower liqueur, with a hint of sage. Nutmeg and hazelnut chocolate.

Finish: Fresh and lingering, moving from peppermint to more hazelnut chocolate.

Comment: This is just lovely and unique, with a beautiful balance and character.

Score: 8.4
