Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet cereals and biscuit lead the nose, giving way to fresh oak and smoked cedar. Manuka honey adds warmth, while Amsterdam pipe tobacco, leather and shoe polish lend rugged depth. A touch of waxy church candle, vanilla cream and nutmeg weave through, with oak extracts lending structure to the aroma.
Palate
Sweet and spicy, with burnt oak staves, barbecued marshmallows, toffee and sea salt, vanilla and Belgium caramel waffles. Roasted coffee fudge cream on sticky toffee pudding, with a hint of white pepper and crushed cinnamon.
Finish
Floral with spicy oak tannins, iodine and sea salt.
