Taster

Nose: Raisin, baked banana, dried figs and prunes. Coal dust and burnt toast with butter. Eucalyptus, petrichor and liquorice root. A whiff of Vasaline and pear drop.

Palate: Light bodied. Smoked pear purée, elderflower and gooseberry preserve, aloe vera drink, and candied green apple.

Finish: Long, on smoked vanilla ice cream and icing sugar sweetness.

Comment: A fresh, clean and crisp smoked dram that would make for a nice sorbet.

Score: 7.7
