Tasting notes:

Nose: Cool funk, bouquet of roses, hazelnuts covered in milk chocolate, extra juicy peaches with cream and honey, candies with fruit, popcorn, vanilla fudge, toasted brioche with blackcurrant jam and lemon curd, and a barn full of hay.

Palate: Wonderfully buttery with mint chocolate ice cream, vanilla white chocolate fudge, lemon tart, champagne, hay, anise twists, cloves, licorice, freshly printed magazine covers and herbal notes. It’s like an exotic whisky!

Finish: Good spicy length with vanilla caramel and cinnamon cookies dipped in spicy hot chocolate.
