Cask No. 9.224

We found a pleasant, uplifting nose of honey, lemon drizzle cake and dulce de leche, while one panellist recalled childhood harvest hayrides and enjoying homemade apple pie seated on burlap sacks in the pumpkin patch. The palate charted a course from sweet and sour (Lemsip, apple chews, perfumed pear, Tangfastics) to tobacco and spicy heat – cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, star anise and chilli. The reduced nose continued the bright autumnal theme – honeycomb, marzipan, dry leaves, perfumed tobacco, rye bread and pear and apple chutney. The palate now combined chocolate with lemon, ginger, gooseberry jam, bramble cheesecake and chewing willow twigs.
