Review and Tasting

Sampled on 02/01/2014

Appearance:

Clear, golden amber.

Aroma:

Honeyed dried fruit, green apple, leather and light cinnamon spice. Water amplifies fragrant apple and pear fruit with aromas reminiscent of an old-fashioned fruit and veg shop with whiffs of allspice.

Taste:

At full-strength, honey and fruity sweetness is slightly masked by spirity spice. Water opens to properly reveal the fine balance between sweet dried orchard fruit and elegantly spiced oak.

Aftertaste:

Spiced pear and elegant oak.
