Nose:Delicate at first, with a soft and spicy core, fruit and grassy notes. Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples mix with honeysuckle and barley sugar, hints of cough candy, black pepper and vanilla toffee.
Palate:Sweet, with the apples and candied notes from the nose fading to reveal a complex core. Oaky spice sits beside liquorice root, grapes and barrel char. Vanilla cream and white chocolate balance the darker flavours.
Finish:Peppery spice fades to reveal orchard fruit, more white chocolate and grassy notes.
Comment:A classic Rosebank, with well-balanced fruit and spice.
