“Amuse your bouche”

Speyside, Lossie

The aroma was that of a creamy dessert called verrines, layers of melon and mango panna cotta separated from a topping of juicy diced fruit by a band of crunchy crushed cookies and served with an almond tuile. The taste was a gentle sweetness, light and creamy like a lemon and prosecco syllabub with deeper notes of maple syrup and chestnut flower honey in the finish. After the addition of water, we imagined sitting under a magnolia tree in full bloom enjoying slices of light and airy Genoise sponge cake, Belgium white chocolates, blueberry cream puffs and Vimto millions chewy sweets.
