SPIRIT NOTES
The nose offered an odd mix of impressions – dubbined leather boots, wooden shelves in a sweetie shop, wax paper and salted rice cakes; nougat and whisky baba. The palate started with fruity sweetness (peaches in syrup, dates, raisins) then got brandy butter and dark chocolate with salted caramel – finishing with dry wood, leather and salted honey. The reduced nose found damp woollen jumpers, tinned pipe tobacco and paraffin lamps lighting the way through autumnal forests. The palate now combined flat cola and figs, vanilla and cherry in chocolate, with hints of seaweed and salty driftwood.
