Tasting Notes

Annabel Meikle

Taster

Nose: Fresh lemon and lime, light pollen from a field of spring flowers. Vanilla custard over mille feuille pâtisserie and waxy green apple.

Palate: Delicate citrus, lemon syllabub and clean angelica. Fresh from the oven Victoria sponge with a shake of icing sugar.

Finish: Silky and soft.

Comment: Whisky in ballet shoes and on tip toes, delightful.

Score: 9

Joel Harrison

Taster

Nose: Vanilla, matchbox, gamey, lemon and lime. Fennel and thyme with a slightly fatty note of Foie Gras and orange peel.

Palate: Green veg with an overriding element of eucalyptus and pine.

Finish: More ginger, menthol and eucalyptus.

Comment: Almost like a ginger wine, this would make a great rusty nail.

Score: 7
