Taster

Nose: Cream toffee, frothy creamy coffee with a couple of spoons of brown sugar, hazelnut syrup and a dash of vanilla pod.

Palate: Hmmm. A very strange note to begin with (sort of a very burnt caramel or charred malt) leading into a much more pleasant creaminess, mandarin segments, some chocolate covered fudge notes.

Finish: Short, with lingering vanilla

Comment: Some pleasant touches, but not a great deal to hold it altogether in the end.

Score: 7.4

Taster

Nose: Drying leaves, thyme scented butter, warming copper, tasted marshmallows, a little burning moss, orange flavoured sweets.

Palate: Sweet coconut milk, steamed prawns, caramel bars, herbal sweets, coco butter.

Finish: Sweet with a herbal quality.

Comment: Lovely stuff, time to wake up to decent grain.

Score: 8.2
