Batch Nº: 19-001

Nose: Enticing caramelised brown sugar combined with virgin sugar cane balanced with notes of milk chocolate, peanut brittle and pecan pie. Sugar crusted shortbread bound with Christmas candy cane followed by hints of rye spice and light smoke.

Palate: A soft and creamy mouth feel with alluring red toffee apple, and summer orchard notes. Ginger, vanilla, caramel and biscuits consume the front palate with subtle nutmeg impressions. Nougat, Anzac biscuits and apple pie round out the palate with subtle notes of stone fruit, followed by softened chocolate.

Finish: A short yet delicate finish with flourishing citrus notes with hints of iced gingerbread, roasted peanuts and cotton candy. The light smoke comes through with notes of oak char, and a waft of smoke.
