Tasting Notes

• Tasting notes by Billy A

  Nose: Sweet and fruity – crunchy apples, rhubarb and custard boiled sweets, green leaves, fruity toffee and peppery touches.

  Palate: Soft and creamy to start, with spiced sponge cake stuffed with apples, raisins and candied peel. Custardy notes grow through the centre of the palate, and with them come more spice, and cooling mint and menthol.

  Finish: Lots of spice initially, with cinnamon and nutmeg fading to sweet and creamy butter. As that disappears, it's replaced with fruitier notes of apple and liquorice, that turn slowly to fresh-tasting mintiness.

  Comment: Very much a concentration of Teerenpeli's style, combining sweet creaminess with crunchy fruit. The extra age adds more depth and some gentle spice, as well as herbal notes that draw the whole lot together.
