Nose
Caramel and vanilla extract mix with julip, heather honey and delicious sweet oak, with more time it evolves slowly bringing fresh mint, dried hay, custard and the zest of ripe manarin.
Palate
The palate is a toffee lovers paradise, with delicious chewy notes backed by cream and dark fudge, further black fruitier charaters appear:apple, pear and peach, followed by toasted pine nuts and homemade butter shortbread. Delicious!
