Nose

Buttery popcorn. A winter fruit compote of baked peaches, stewed apricots, plums and rhubarb. Well worn leather like a tobacco pouch with aniseed and rye emerging.

Palate

Young and fresh (virgin oak?) with wine gums and Turkish delight sweetness. Savoury cereal notes of Shredded Wheat and oaty flapjack. Blackcurrants in the hedgerow with \ntoasted grist.

Finish

Spritzy and then drying.

Comment

Assertive, the spirit isn’t being pushed around by the oak.
