Nose: Reminds me of the glovebox in my Nan's car, barley sugar sweets, packets of vanilla fudge and a gentle smoke note. Hints of lemon oil and fresh oak.

Palate: That lovely barely sugar sweetie note comes through with a great zip of lemon zest freshness. The smoke is here too, as is a touch of coconut cream. Then spices build with a black pepper edge.

Finish: Generous with all that oak and barley sugar coming together.

Comment: Lovely sweetness and balance between the oak and citrus elements.
