Nose
An old-fashioned tuck shop greets the nostrils; sherbet, Refreshers sweets and various boiled items in jars. There's also an assortment of “Cinema Snacks” – mainly chocolate-coated raisins and toffee popcorn. Hints too of walnut, ginger and mace.
Palate
Very rich (and at 64%abv that means VERY rich), offering up stem ginger in syrup, parma violets, lemon meringue pie, chili and melted rum & raisin ice cream.
Finish
Long and sublimely sweet with exotic spices and pear juice. A recurring theme of almost soapy parma violets seems to be popping up!
