NOSE Demerara sugar and rich custart up front, backed by a playful sweetness reminiscent of fruit jellies. There’s a subtle rubbery note intertwined with a sawdust-line mustiness. Hints of stone fruit emerge with time, adding a ripe, juicy dimension.
PALATE A coating layer of honeycomb wax leads the way, followed by stewed plums and a touch of floral plum jam. The wood-driven character carries throught from the nose, adding drip and compexity. The texture is satisfyingly oily, allowing the flavours to linger.
FINISH Honey on toast fades dently into zesty citrus pith, providing a slightly bitter counterpoint to the earlier sweetness. The woody notes remain but soften considerably, leaving a warm, balanced impression that encourafes another sip.
