A very fragrant and fruity aroma on the nose neat delivered freshly squeezed orange juice, vanilla wafers, caramel toffee, honeyed flapjacks and freshly sawn wood. The initial taste was like an explosion of creamy mascarpone followed by big vanilla notes, honey and lemon, with a sweet oaky flavour in the finish.
Following reduction, we imagined strolling through a meadow in springtime with daisies in full bloom enjoying a scoop of lemon sorbet in a sweet ice cream cone. On the palate, soft fruity flavours such as peaches, apricots and mangoes mingled with a menthol freshness. This was truly a fresh, bright and charming dram.
