Tasting notes:
Nose: Honey-drenched barley, freshly cut lucerne hay, the sweet organic notes so dominant in this expression. Sugarcane, warm flapjacks drizzled with golden syrup, butterscotch, uncooked fruit cake mix, melted butter on a honeyed crumpet.
Palate: Viscous barley sugar, with lemon tang and salted fresh ginger root washing over the tongue, then cracked black pepper and gorgeous caramelised muscovado sugar on the finish with a curious sweet sardine note lingering on the aftertaste.
