Tasting Notes

Nose

Pleasing juniper forward — savoury dill and fresh fennel with cedar wood, the Isles of Scilly saltiness subtly present

Palate

Smooth and rounded — entertaining bright fresh mint and fennel, then spicy warmth of cardamom and pepper, soft citrus sweetness closing, the 1665 shipwreck Javan pepper adding historical spice

Finish

Long dry and warming — the 48-hour steeping creating depth that quick infusions cannot match, the Masters Award thoroughly earned
