USA Exclusive Cask

The nose brought a wave of heavy oils that coated coriander seeds, lavender and star anise with lemon-scented wax and and crushed juniper berries, while orange juice merged with light medicinal notes. The palate too was viscous and rich, embracing intense orange oils, cumin seeds and pink peppercorns alongside marshmallows coated with sage, thyme and sugared lemon. Diluting appeared to allow fragrant aromas to push forwards, expressing rose petals, hibiscus, spicy carnations and dried chamomile. In the mouth it was peppery and oily but with drier nuances of hazelnuts, sesame seeds and fine oak tannins, while Turkish delight lasted on to the finish alongside juniper and citrus.
