Nose

Something light and cake-y, like an unbaked Victoria sponge mix with a bit of baking powder thrown in. Pecans and brown butter too.

Palate

Plenty of heat on this, which belies the moderate ABV. A real palate-prickler. On the lighter flavour spectrum – lemon oils, zingy white pepper, dried chilli flakes, wood shavings and cake mix (plus baking powder).

Finish

Spice and richer flavours dissipate, leaving a grassy lemon aftertaste.

Comment

The spice is right – heat dominates the front and mid-palate.
