QUIET CONFIDENCE
Cask No. 42.73
sold out
The nose was summery and relaxing – cantaloupe with ginger and maraschino cherry, jelly babies, hints of lemon and mint, almond nougat and sunscreen applied at the beach. The palate gave us a lick of liquorice and a dab of sherbet, zingy lemon zest, unripe figs, green melon, crystallized fruits, banana bread with walnuts and ginger and oak to finish.
The reduced nose offered lime marmalade, boiled sweets, stone fruits and a squeeze of lemon. On the palate, we encountered fruit salad with exotic fruit (peaches, custard apple, monstera), gooseberry jam, pain au chocolat – and lastly, lingering tingles of fruit skins, leather and walnuts.
