Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Roasted coffee coated with with dark chocolate, vanilla anglaise, crisp clean smoke blends with a lovely undertone of sweetness. Stewed berries and a touch of citrus.

Palate: More oak now and vanilla’s balancing well with the coffee and chocolate. Quite chutney like, Branston pickle or Houses of Parliament sauce. There’s toffee sweetness and a little toasted hazelnut.

Finish: The hazelnut lingers with the smoke and sweetness. Some tropical fruits start to emerge with plenty of balanced oak.
