Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Light and airy vanilla milkshake backed up by a soft and chewy toffeeness. Stone fruits and bananas poke through with a gentle ripe mango.

Palate: Soft brambles and fruit pie that combine together with the delicate vanilla. Warm pastry and a light nuttiness that develops into a gentle dough texture.

Finish: Long and warming that gradually sweetens. Continues with the sweetness into a lovely soft buttery pancake note. Ends with a lovely pinch of spice
