Nose

Freshly baked wholemeal bread, caramel biscuit, golden syrup, manuka honey, coffee liqueur, cinnamon, cumin, white pepper and coriander seed, sage, hickory and red berries.

Palate

A touch hot and tingly. Plenty of those bready notes, now reminiscent of Danish rye and Soreen malt loaf. Cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

Finish

Medium length, the spices linger as the tannin takes hold.

Comment

The palate doesn’t quite have the same complexity as the nose, but the overall effect is quite moreish.
