Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

rather modern, that is to say with the usual overripe apples and even bubblegum and liquorice allsorts, plus a layer of maple syrup, vanilla and raisins. Then we rather have whiffs of humus and fern, which can’t be bad news

restaurant Palate

bags and bags of caramel, fudge, vanilla, Ovaltine… The mouth feel is light, even thin, but the whole is pleasantly smooth. Ha, smoothness. I have to say some sides of it make me think of Chivas 18

timer Finish

a little short, malty. Vanilla fudge and a touch of tobacco in the aftertaste
