Great Taste Awards This has a warm amber colour with a satisfying viscosity but surprisingly little aroma – we struggle to detect any character on the nose. We particularly like the almost chewy texture. It has a gentle flavour, not too sweet and with a faint medicinal note at the end. While the flavour lingers, the antiseptic note is really the only notable characteristic. Very modest taste. This is a truly lovely pine honey, slightly cloudy while a deep amber-gold in aspect, and with a wonderfully syrupy viscosity. Both aroma and palate carry gentle but unmistakable notes of pine and lightly resinous wood, allied to a surprisingly subtle sweetness, not in the least cloying. Palate delivery is even, with considerable, if again relatively gentle, length. Not hugely impactful, perhaps, but delightful in its balance and length. This is an intriguing, complex honey with beautiful, rich pine notes. We found it delicate for a pine honey, resinous and with nuanced medicinal undertones. It is outstanding for its savoury qualities. This clear, pale caramel honey has a very appealing, thick, treacly consistency and melts slowly in the mouth to release a rounded sweetness that lingers long with elegant delicacy.
