EXCEEDINGLY EXQUISITE
Cask No. 38.34
sold out
The initial aroma of nail varnish is soon removed making room for pleasant smells of sweetness. Caramel chocolate bars, toffee popcorn and Angel Delight vanilla custard dessert, with time followed by deeper notes of freshly grounded coffee beans. The taste is like a soft scoop of vanilla and coffee ice cream, fresh fruit salad with whipped cream and lemon tart. The age is shown in the finish with a slight pleasant bitterness and a spiciness some described as balsa wood. A drop of water turns the nose sweeter and fruitier; citrus and tangerine sorbet, orange liqueur and dark cooking chocolate. The taste is like a fresh green twig and fragrant orange blossom with the sweetness of homemade shortbread.
