Tasting Notes
Deep amber, like Golden Syrup. A soft, rich aroma, initially reminiscent of steamed syrup sponge, with stem ginger – even a hint of gingery prickle. Beyond this there are some slightly musty dry sherry and beeswax furniture polish notes; a drawer in a desk, a leather-bound library book. A splash of water reveals dried heather flowers, melted toffee - perhaps crème brulee or sticky toffee pudding with vanilla custard, and just a hint of orange peel and white pepper. The overall impression is ‘comforting’. At full strength the texture is smooth and creamy, and the taste sweet, with light orange-peel acidity at the sides of the tongue, drying slightly, with coconut, chocolate and gingery spice in the lengthy finish. Warming. At reduced strength, these tastes are still apparent - including the warming gingery effect - but at reduced levels, Occasion: For quaffing or contemplation – preferably in a deep armchair when the nights are drawing in.
