lemons and vanilla slices

plus darker shades of chilli chocolate and spiced nuts before a finish of syrup of figs and teasing tarry resins

Cask No. 5.127 Rum lemons and vanilla slicesA cascade of concentrated fruit cordials rippled over fresh oak and coriander like a strawberry and raspberry rainbow bursting through a lush forest.
