Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Where to start, deep and intense start. Plum pudding with a side of Oxord marmalade. Almost full on apple pie, cinnamon and whipped cream. Praline and milk chocolate, dried fruits with pineapple, apples and pears.

Palate: Melting muscavado sugar, pears in cider and a little meaty note – reminicent of sweetcure smoked bacon lingering.

Finish: Smoke gentle unfurls with charred peaches and cherry lips.

Comment: Perfect balance and weight.

Score: 9.1

Lyndsey Gray

Taster

Nose: Punchy! Sizzling pork kebabs, pineapple and sweet peppers. Coconut and cocoa butter notes appear with hints of salted peanuts.

Palate: Charcoal smoke and sweetness covering the palate, cocoa butter stands out at the end, then bitter dark chocolate. Ripe banana skins, toasted oak, grated nutmeg and hot candlewax.

Finish: Full bodied with a dry smoky texture with hot spices warming from the back.

Comment: Leaves you parched and craving even more.
