        Tasting Notes

        FULL OF SWEET VANILLA AND HONEY.

        Nose

        Overridingly sweet initially, then warming to floral, light barley and spicy honeyed tones.


        Palate

        Opens in a spicy style with fructiferous notes of raisin and a sugary, fudgey character.


        Finish

        Subtle yet sweet with a real oaky flavour, hints of milky cereals and late meringue.

          Cheese
