Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)

Gentle yet pungent aromas of earthy, animally liquorice, dried fruits and moist fruit cake. Very layered, it continues to open up to display a complexity that I wasn’t expecting. The soft oak is restrained and balanced by a crisp grainy note. The palate begins with a slightly floral note and pure corn oil followed by peanut brittle and toffee, which has been slightly burnt at the edges. There’s lashings of dried fruit, figs, spices, brown sugar and violets. Good earthy length and a vibrant piquancy with just the right amount of bitterness imparted by the oak. The oak is wonderfully subtle, forming a backdrop for the corn and rye to shine. A million times better than the frankly horrid white label!
