Nose
Poached pear, vanilla custard, honeyed barley and a faint waft of sherried raisin behind.
Palate
Soft and honeyed — orchard fruit, shortbread, light caramel, dried apricot, a gentle sherry warmth rising beneath.
Finish
Medium, clean, with honey, gentle oak spice and a last note of baked apple.
