Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Huge sweet hit at first, burnt sugar, caramel and dark chocolate. Spicy oak follows with Chantilly cream and a little nutmeg.

Palate: Big and bold, mouth coating with toffee and caramel notes. The oak is here too bringing spices and soft cream pastries.

Finish: Long and sweet.

Comment: Nothing small about this, but it is all in balance.

Score: 8.7

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Very sweet, with nougat, egg custard and all-spice.
