A fresh and vibrant aroma greeted the panel with tropical fruits such as mango, coconut and pineapple being joined by the warm scent of banana bread and cinnamon raisin rolls. On the palate, a stack of banana pancakes with lemon juice, maple syrup and chocolate spread. After the addition of water, the nose moved on to fluffy scones bursting with sultanas and topped by either peach and apricot jam or marmalade. Our scones were served with a rosehip, nettle & mint tea sweetened with stevia. Following eleven years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 2nd fill heavy charred hogshead.

Some panel members found themselves on the beach with coconut scented sun cream, melted ice cream, strawberry fondant creams and peppermint creams whereas others moved straight on to the terrace overlooking the sea to enjoy a glass of perfectly chilled Sauternes’ wine with almond and lemon tarts as well as meringue. A drop of water and the aroma became even more intense, honeyed apricot, butterscotch, coconut, mango, honeysuckle and toasted baking spices. On the palate so smooth and so sweet like a Greek yoghurt honey cream served with wedges of juicy fresh, sweet peach or clotted cream on scones.
