Nose
Banana and bright green fruit—crisp apples and pears—emerge over a buttery, butterscotch sweetness, with malty vanilla. Subtle honey mustard notes mingle with grassy, herbal hints, while spiced oak adds a warm, lingering edge to the aroma.
Palate
Sweet and toasted oak, creamy vanilla, honeyed nuts, sugared almonds, waxy orange curd.
Finish
Grassy and herbaceous, toasted vanilla, honey, golden syrup sponge pudding with custard.
