SWEETLY MODERN
Cask No. 60.31
sold out
The Panel was greeted by an array of smells like in a Mediterranean herb garden, quickly followed by more homey aromas such as gorse, heather, pine cones and a slight dampness of moss and mushrooms. Turning sweeter with time, golden syrup, lemon cake and ripe pineapples. Neat on the palate, very viscous and sweet, like melted milk chocolate, also nutty and vanilla flavours appearing and a long finish of salted and peppered cashew nuts. Careful with water, the nose turns a lot sweeter; orange chocolate, caramelized bananas with sugary nuts sprinkled on them and ginger biscuits. In the taste the ginger biscuits are now slightly burned and caramelized, there is also orange liqueur and as a treat S’more, marshmallow with chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers - delicious!
