TASTING NOTES
-
Nose
Creamy and bright, with a zesty lift that quickly deepens into layers of spice - clove, anise, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and pimento, all laced with finger lime. The whole spice cupboard. Anchored by roasted pumpkin and buttery pastry notes, lifted again by fresh honeycomb, macadamia, strawberry jam, raspberry liquorice and a cool hint of spearmint jelly.
-
Palate
Full and weighty with a waxy mouthfeel, swelling into layers of anise, herbal notes, black cat lolly and jelly babies. Brandy-soaked fruit loaf, sautéed plums and raisins meet chilli dark chocolate, brandy cream and vanilla custard cannoli for a multi-faceted, deeply satisfying experience.
-
Finish
Light of heart yet long in shadow, the finish carries a gentle tannin structure that fades to a silky mouthfeel. Notes of raspberry tart, maple-drenched waffles, icing sugar and dissolving chocolate powder linger, alongside nutty praline, whipped ganache, hazelnut, macadamia and salted pistachio.
