Review and Tasting

Sampled on 10/10/2016

Appearance

Clear, golden amber with shades of rose gold.

Aroma

Acorns, orchard fruit, honeysuckle and spice. Water amplifies orchard fruitiness revealing waxiness.

Taste

Peppery spice and pear fruit with waxiness, ginger and clove. A dash of water brings this malts elements into kilter, revealing black tea, blackcurrant and menthol cough sweets.

Aftertaste

Waxy, leathery, soft malty finish with orchard fruit and mild spice.

Overall

Waxy leather, orchard fruit and mild spice, this malt is incredibly quaffable – the sample provided was all too small. Incredibly fruity and sprightly for a 37 year old.

Closure: Agglomerated cork stopper
