Tasting Notes
Official
Nose: Sweet top notes of pear drops, lime and lemon sherbet and creamy vanilla fudge are followed by fresh floral hints and subtle traces of malted barley.
Palate: Rounded honey sweetness is balanced with a dash of chilli spice. Sugared violets and hints of dry hay develop leading to creamy roasted hazelnuts.
Finish: Lingering sweet herbal tobacco with an edge of fresh menthol, hints of orange, citrus zest and a whisp of smoke.
