SPIRIT NOTES
The nose is brimming with fruity booty – pear drops, pineapple liqueur, apple sherbet and lemon peel – also some coconut oil, pine sap and wild flowers. The palate suggests foamy shrimps, toffee and plums, heather ale with a hoppy grapefruit zing, floral Armagnac, and Turkish delight with pistachio. The reduced nose still majors on fruit – poached pears, stone fruits, banana bread and orange Jaffa cakes – but includes polished wooden furniture and autumn leaves. Now the palate gives a waxy, chalky mouthfeel with flavours of rhubarb crumble, banana chips, honey, and pineapple – the finish brings hessian, charred wood, and mint to mind.
