Nose

Funky and earthy like a rhum agricole, or sticky toffee pudding left on the floor of a barn. Looking past the funk there’s sticky dried fruits – figs, prunes and dates, alongside molasses and black treacle.

Palate

Not quite as sweet as the nose suggests although the mustiness remains. The texture is oily with a tar-like quality, while the palate is treacle and burnt digestive biscuits.

Finish

Thick, rummy and lingering.

Comment

Dense, funky and fun, an intriguing Australian treat with a hint of Tasmanian peat.
