Tastes

Loads of of sherry and cocoa notes. Wood and chocolate on the finish.

Nose: Heavy sherry notes, fig and sultanas. Oak and earthy vanilla. Palate: A burst of berry fruit sweetness, malty, dark chocolate. Finish: A gentle barrel spice, sultanas, white grapes.

Nose: A brown sugar, rum-like quality. Sweet honey smoked ham. Heavy. Palate: A touch oily. Sweet and peaty rather than smokey. Spice warmth. Finish: Very long with a slightly saltly fish finger which is weird but I kinda like it.

Nose: Poached pear, crisp apple, vanilla danish. Palate: A touch oily. Apple strudel, dried fruits, red grapes, a warming peppery spice. Finish: Floral honey which leads to an earthy wood character.

Nose: Sweet dried green fruits like sultanas. Some subtle saltiness. Palate: Slightly thick. Light stone fruits with some additional caramelly sweetness. A wave of peppery spice follows but it's balanced against the sweetness. Finish: Drying with a flavour of a salt water dampened oak stave.

Nose: Spiced apple. Loads of toffee. A touch of wood varnish. Palate: Nice creamy mouthfeel. Chocolate covered dried fruit character. The spice starts to develop. Finish: Dry with a black pepper spice. An aftertaste of Christmas cake with hints of malt chocolate milkshake.

Nose: Sweet apricot jam and honey with a dark brown sugar note. Palate: Creamy mouthfeel. Quite malt forward. Some very gentle baking spice. Finish: The spices subside and leave a caramelly nut brittle with some stone fruit drizzle. Woody notes persist long into the aftertaste. Notes: This one is mainly about the finish.

Nose: Lots of orchard fruit and some crusty bread notes. Palate: Creamy mouthfeel. Brown sugar and some gently cinnamon spiced apple. Finish: A warming spice and slightly unsalted peanut end. It's a bit meh for me.

Nose: Banana bread for days. Earthy vanilla pods. Cereals. Palate: Vanilla jumps out. Fresh cut pink lady apple. Some additional tropical fruit knocks about at the back. Finish: Light honey, some subtle spice.

Nose: Oily citrus peel leaning towards orange. Vanilla shortbread. I get a little almond on the retro. Palate: Creamy mouthfeel. Gentle spice. Dried green fruits like sultanas. Some biscotti notes. Finish: The spices develop a touch more. Vanilla and stewed green apple prevail.
