Appearance: Burnished copper in sunlight. Attractive beading.

Nose: Mild, fresh and soft at first with a brief, fruity top-note of lightly baked apples above grainy cereals and a slightly dusty, woody fragrance of apple stalks.

Body: Medium bodied and dense.

Palate: Smooth, minty and drying. Lightly sweet, with the sharp fruitiness of stewed apples balanced by savoury notes, like a little hint of brine.

Finish: There’s a menthol-clean and gently fruity aftertaste, in which marzipan, cherry and dark chocolate are offset by a herbal note.
