Review by Gordon & MacPhail

Colour

Lightest Gold.

Nose

Fragrant pear combines with delicate floral blossom aromas. Vanilla and lemon undertones, reminiscent of madeira sponge cake, mature into malty notes highlighted by hints of sweet dry hay.

Palate

warming chilli chocolate fades to reveal a collection of fruit flavours: zesty lime, grapefruit, and candied lemon. With time, hints of roasted hazelnut come to the fore.

Finish

Lingering; cocoa powder infuses with traces of toasted malt.
