Nose

Intensely sweet and fresh: apricots, golden syrup, orange jam, with limes. Settles to reveal orchard fruits. Pouring honey with buttermilk. Slightly oaky. Perhaps a bit simple.

Palate

Oily, with plenty of sweetness and spice. Oranges, citrus notes, cloves and ginger. Rich tea biscuits and some lightly toasted notes. Flatter than the nose, despite the ABV.

Finish

Long, oily, and spicy, but the core flavours vanish too quickly.

Comment

Promising nose, but this was a bit of an anticlimax.
