Treats on a window sill

Highland, Southern

The nose brought together delicate buttery notes and a cheeky juvenile freshness – hot buttered sesame bagels and corn cobs, pulped fruit, putty, painted wood and popcorn. A short burst of sweetness on the palate (syrupy pancakes, hard caramels) gave way to pleasantly mouth drawing flavours of blackcurrant leaf, lemon zest, lime pickle, chewing tobacco and matcha powder. The reduced nose discovered peeled willow twigs, worts, hop flowers, chocolate limes and cola cubes. The palate, both complex and refreshing, combined salted caramel, honey roast parsnips and cinnamon bear claws with sherbet lemons, Haribo Tangfastics and pencil shavings.
