Taster

Nose: Pear drop and a pleasant, transient whiff of modelling glue that blows off. Underneath, sweet malted cereal and white chocolate. Lots of fudge and tahini. Cornflakes and golden syrup.

Palate: Medium. Banana milkshake and milk chocolate. Applesauce with a pinch of cinnamon. Vanilla ice cream and caramel. Fondant sweets.

Finish: Medium, on caramel. A little green apple at the end.

Comment: Pleasantly sweet, spirit-forward, and well rounded.

Score: 7.7
