Tasting Notes

Nose

Seville orange marmalade — rich and citrusy, star anise warmth, immediately inviting, the two-week infusion evident

Palate

Marmalade centre stage — Seville orange's bitter-sweet character, creamy almond and liquorice sweetness, gently spiced, the hand-squeezed orange juice adding fresh brightness, Old Tom sweetness without cloying

Finish

Orange and spice — the marmalade's bitterness balancing the sweetness, star anise lingering, smooth and citrus-forward

First Impressions

Pocketful of Stones in Cornwall starts with Seville orange peel distilled with warming star anise and liquorice root. Then comes the marmalade infusion — traditional marmalade steeped for two full weeks. Finally, fresh hand-squeezed orange juice is added before cutting to 40%. The result is an Old Tom with genuine citrus depth.

Tasting

Seville orange, star anise, liquorice, marmalade, and orange juice. Marmalade-forward nose. Creamy palate with bitter-sweet Seville character. Orange and spice finish.

The Bottom Line

Pocketful of Stones Marmalade earns a 7 — the two-week marmalade infusion and fresh orange juice are genuine craft touches. Best in a Negroni with built-in citrus, or a Marmalade Hot Toddy. At £37, Cornish marmalade innovation.
