Nose – Creamy, with rice pudding and toasted vanilla. Rye and oat crackers. Sharp citrus bite – lemongrass, and lemon and lime sherbet – and a hint of Chablis-like minerality. Light notes of honey, underripe plum, and straw. Whole-milk latte.
Palate – Medium-full bodied, retaining that creaminess. Toasted vanilla pod, with roasted coffee notes and a hint of caramelised white chocolate. Cinnamon and vanilla sugar-dusted doughnut. Slight anise notes of clove and liquorice. Continuing citrus-sherbet tingle. Sweet and spicy grain notes run as an undercurrent.
Finish – Long, but gentle. Crisp green apple, honey, and rye cracker come through in the finish with a final twist of lemon peel.

Nose – Juicy fruit cake, like a bara brith (tea loaf). Ginger syrup, redcurrants, black tea with manuka honey, pear and almond tart. Madeleines and vanilla cream. A hint of roast beef and herbal sage. With water, baking spices, a touch of white pepper, and dulce de leche.
Palate – Medium-bodied. Sweet initially, steamed ginger sponge with toffee sauce, and sea-salt caramel dark chocolate. Then come raisins, dates, cinnamon sticks, and flaked almonds, with a hint of tamarind and soft leather. Malt loaf with set floral honey. Rich, yet pleasantly drying. Water dials up the toffee and sherried fruit notes and calms that dry edge.
Finish – Medium-long, led by nutmeg and clove spice, with apple and raspberry cordial and shortbread with hard toffee.
