Let’s wash our mouth out, shall we?
Colour Dark gold.
Nose Malty, dried fruits, liquorice. Toast. Berry lollies, jam. Kind of tight, perhaps delicate? With water, tropical fruits, banana, pawpaw, still pretty light. Raspberries. Perhaps some wax?
Palate Dried fruits, vanilla. Malty, fennel. Bright orange citrus, plus oils. Oily mouthfeel. With water, caramel and toffee, a touch of astringency. Spices. More malt.
Finish Warming, hot chocolate and Christmas cake. Oak spices, cinnamon. With water, brown sugar syrup, perhaps hazelnut. Meringue. Long.
Comments Pleasant, if a bit dull. But after that last one, this might as well be milk and honey. 83/100.
