SPIRIT NOTES
Gorgeous aromas of apple blossom and elderflower wafted over toasted pine nuts and hazelnut butter spread on to carrot cake, as the gentle spice of nutmeg and cloves blended into runny honey. The taste combined lime marmalade, cherry cake and dried cranberries with honey-glazed ham dotted with pink peppercorns, while dry rye spice met peppermint and menthol. With a dash of water came caramel wafers in vanilla ice cream drizzled with maple syrup and cold custard. Nutty notes returned on the palate alongside golden sultanas in fruit loaf, fennel seeds and mint-scented coconut husk on a dry and peppery finish.
