Review and Tasting
Sampled on 21/03/2022
Appearance:
Clear, deep coppery amber.
Aroma:
Blackened fruit cake and golden syrup with sawn oak, honey-drizzled dates and figs.
Taste:
Rich vinous dried fruit counters assertive alcohol strength and oak tannins to make very approachable and even quaffable. Toasted pumpernickel bread, dried figs, vanilla and baking spices.
Aftertaste:
Toasty oak, pumpernickel and baking spices.
Overall:
A splash of water amplifies vanilla and barley water notes but this malt is at its best undiluted at bottling strength. A tad exuberant and in your face but all the more quaffable for it.
