Nose
Oily and with lots of sweet orange juice and slightly bitter orange peel. There's a whisper of varnish and malt, with just a hint of vanilla pods and marmalade. Finally a whiff of puff pastry and lemon yoghurt. Good balance.
Palate
Nice creamy mouthfeel, with a sugary sweet, honeyed arrival, ensued by an array of spices, such as nutmeg, but also cinnamon and ginger, and an oaky bitterness. There's some room for a mango fruitiness too.
Finish
Lingering bitterness, whiffs of sweet fruits. Medium in length.
