Smells
Vanilla, Lady Marmalady, cloves and trousers, allspice, freshly baked bread, musty drawrs, grassy, fresh. Stay Fresh / Odour Eater socks, Cif.
Tastes
Breakfast whisky. Rubbery, melon-y-ness, subtle, Gin-y (not Phil's mum), nettle-ette, figgy-plum liquor. And What I go to School For (Busted). And Crunch Creams. Of course.
Finishes
Surprisingly long with cremola, barley and fudge and vanilla farts.
Comments
Subtle, very drinkable... Hard to judge but goes down well.
Cost
~£70 (70cl)
