We all noticed a fruity aroma on the neat nose. Descriptors included crispy green apples, mango and coconut smoothie, peach yoghurt, lemon mousse and orange drizzle cake. On the palate it was sweet and malty, with butter icing and orange zest next to a warm vanilla malted milkshake, with a finish of gooseberry and apple jam. Following reduction we found even more vanilla on the nose and the fruits were now tangerines and papayas, plus an orange blossom citrus mojito. To taste, we enjoyed toasted coconut and lemon and lime shortbread, while notes of delicate savoury oak, almond butter and cinnamon added complexity and character.
