Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Coastal smoke appears, layered with smoked mackerel and fruit chutney. Pleasant savoury notes intertwine with caramel.
Palate
Even sweeter and richer than on the nose: layers of dried fruit, raspberry coulis and cherries. Orange rind combines with gentle smoke and spice.
Finish
Balanced and lasting with dark chocolate, bonfire embers and pomegranate seeds.
