Wandering through a sawmill, our noses bathed in freshly milled pine, newspapers dipped in lemon juice and baked in the sunshine, and straw hats with lavender tucked behind a decorative linen ribbon. To taste, the Panel found an uplifting peach iced tea, stirred with lavender marshmallows and spiked with chocolate bitters.
Water kicked up the dust from the sawmill, with oak chips on a forest floor emerging on the nose, accompanied by apple and cinnamon rolls with butter icing. The palate was now livelier, with vanilla milkshake served in a slate chalice, plum sauce and crystallised ginger.
