San Francisco World Spirits Competition DOUBLE GOLD 2018 The nose, mild-mannered and beautifully balanced, displayed a full spectrum of sweetness, from ripened barley to sticky toffee pudding and a box of chocolate pralines; also hints of new leather and lino cuts. The palate was deep, full of interest and attention-grabbing – intensely sweet (iced caramels, rum and raisin ice-cream) with a kaleidoscope of orange (orange blossom, orange peel, blood orange), tropical fruits and perfumed leather.
