Tasting Notes
Nose
At first, this gives off warm notes that remind me of freshly turned autumn leaves and roasted root vegetables. It has a sweetish baking spice aroma like snickerdoodle cookies, light colored caramel or Lyles golden syrup, and brewed Lipton tea. Theres a green note like tender pea shoots that adds interest. Its quite a lovely nose.
Palate
Limp and silky on the palate, this offers up decadent flavors of spun sugar, honey, toasted French bread, Honey Nuts cereal, and sweet tea. It has a lightly toasted sweetness to it that almost reminds me of wheat whiskey. Its reads as sweet without being cloying because it has a crisp and light feel to the body and gentle tannins on the finish. Its extremely well composed and goes down very easy. The finish ends rather abruptly, leaving a hint of yeast and toasted pine nuts, but not much else.
