Nose

One word – Christmas. Very delicate, a tad too light. Lots of allspice, frankincense, cloves, burnt apple. It’s surprisingly difficult to find the subtle sweetness among these monster houses of spice.

Palate

The return of the spice. A heavy oak and butterscotch blast followed by a powerful mouth coating marzipan, clove and ground pepper.

Finish

Short, oozing of brown sugar and caramel.

Comment

Expecting originality from the original spices on the nose, it was well balanced and delivered on its promise. Enjoyable.
