Cask No. 162.9

A brisk sea breeze swept over the bow, carrying the scent of peach and pineapple yoghurt mixed with the floral aroma of chamomile and summer meadows. Clinging to the hull we found sticky liquorice and salted caramel, while mint sweets and bottles of dark ale rolled across the deck. Water brought a change of tide as tins of fruit salad with pineapples and peaches tumbled in the hold, crashing into our cargo of frangipane tarts, crushed shells and candied almonds. Finally, in the galley, strawberry sherbet, soft banana sweets and baklava sloshed around in a tub of orange blossom water.
