Tasting Notes

Bethany Brown

Taster

Nose: Softly whipped cream. Warm spice of cinnamon and nutmeg. Tart apple and banana chips. Caramelised pineapple and coconut macaroon. Hints of warm wort and white wine.

Palate: Medium. Apple and blackcurrant crumble. Dark muscovado sugar, date, and toasted shaved coconut. A hint of roasted mushroom. Coffee cream-filled dark chocolates.

Finish: Medium. Very dark chocolate and fresh cherry juice. Later, digestive biscuit.

Comment: Well balanced. It feels indulgent without being too rich.

Score: 8.0

Christopher Coates

Taster

Nose: Vanilla pod, popcorn, and honey-glazed granola. A little peach yoghurt. Gingerbread with cinnamon and nutmeg. Freshly baked brown bread and butter, kiwi fruit, lemon zest, and jackfruit.

Palate: Medium-light. Kiwi, jackfruit, and delicate citrus: lemon, lime, and clementine. Vanilla cream, iced doughnut, and subtle chocolate fudge brownie.

Finish: Delicate almond notes join vanilla for a medium-short finish.

Comment: Balanced, smooth, and with enough complexity to make it worth picking up at the right price.

Score: 7.9
