Cask No. 9.286

With a last few sips of earl grey tea and fruity boiled sweets packed in the bag, we were all set. The air carried wafts from the pineapple pinnacle as we navigated seemingly endless boulder fields of mangos and coconuts. Reaching the start of the climb we paused for a coffee with a dusting of cocoa powder and a cheeky cream cake. With a dash of water we began scaling the steep sides of the pineapple, searching for handholds on rocks of ginger, red apples and pink grapefruit. On we climbed, high above the summer meadows and pine trees until we reached the top, celebrating with buttered fruit scones and blackcurrant jam.
