Description

On the nose, innocent sweetness (honey, butterscotch, Cola bottle sweets) eventually sharpens to orange blossom, acid drops and sherbet lemons; toasted coconut, almonds, dried apricots and floorboards remind us of the cask. The palate is lively and refreshing, juicy and warming – lime zest, lemongrass, Red Kola, jalapeño chillies and wasabi paste. The reduced nose is dominated by citric freshness – San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa, lemon barley water, lemon meringue pie, refreshers and forest fruits. The palate now balances Bakewell slice, frangipane and custard creams with slightly more astringent elements of fruit punch, champagne cocktail and gin with lemon and rosemary; a joyous combination.
