Taster
Nose: Very floral up front, tulips and Sweet Williams. Toasted marshmallows, cherry red lace sweets, redcurrant sweetness. Strawberry slices and lemon drizzle cake. There’s a little air-dried ham and wood too.
Palate: The alcohol hits first, then come the wood tannins and vanilla sweetness. Chilli heat, those fizzy, sour strawberry sweets.
Finish: Short and sweet with plenty of fruit. The alcohol dries leaving a chilli prickle.
Comment: Decent stuff packing a great punch with plenty of spices.
Score: 8.2
Taster
Nose: Orange cremola foam, mango flesh, candyfloss and Neapolitan ice cream followed by floral notes of gorseflower, pine sap and dried sage leaves. Whiteboard chalk to finish off.
Palate: Other than bitter orange marmalade, the fruit notes disappear and are overpowered by floral and nutty flavours. Praline pecans, salted pistachios, peanut butter and crushed juniper berries.
Finish: An oily floral consistency with hot chocolate powder.
Comment: Eating a nut bar in a florist shop.
Score: 8.5
