Nose
Kirsch cherries smothered in milk chocolate, pine sap and sandalwood shavings with dried apricots and banana skin. Star anise and melted Strathdon blue cheese.
Palate
Bold tones of Nutella and roasted figs on a cinnamon bagel, then torched pine needles, grated nutmeg and ginger. A hint of barbequed sweetcorn to finish.
Finish
Rich and leathery with hot spices lengthening the finish.
Comment
The embers from last night’s bonfire consisting of a fir tree and banana skins.
