Tasting Notes

Christopher Coates

Taster

Nose: Cantaloupe, Russian honey cake (sponge, honey, cinnamon), white chocolate, and orange zest. Candied fruits and marzipan. Vanilla essence and calendula.

Palate: Medium-full. Chamomile tea with honey, and a citrus zing of mixed orange and lemon peels. A pleasing creaminess. A little grassy. There are delicate baking spices, too.

Finish: Medium. The citrus notes linger.

Comment: A summery drop that is comforting and easy to drink.

Score: 7.8

Bethany Whymark

Taster

Nose: Soft brioche, milk, and honey. Raisin, toffee apple, cinnamon, and fondant icing (like fondant fancies), with hints of lemon zest, sawdust, and pine resin.

Palate: Medium. Darkly toasted brioche, with more honey and toffee apple. A hint of lemon meringue pie. Blackberry, red grape, and strong espresso coffee. A little grassy spice.

Finish: Medium, on woody spice, and apples and pears in fruit cocktail syrup.

Comment: Uncomplicated, refreshing, and really rather pleasant.

Score: 7.9
