Tasting notes

  • Nose

    Honeysuckle and acacia give way to deeper aromas of shortbread and citrus, with a hint of coconut adding another layer of complexity.

  • Palate

    More lemon and biscuits, reminiscent of creamy lemon cheesecake, mingle with honeysuckle, salty sea spray and wisps of bonfire smoke.

  • Finish

    Rich woodsmoke quickly gives way to creamy lemon that lingers on the palate.
