Appearance:

Clear, pale-mid golden amber.

Aroma:

Dried fruit and orchard fruit with faintly smoked malted barley and desiccated coconut. Water reveals zesty orange marmalade and creamy oak.

Taste:

Fruit and spice in perfect harmony. Tangerine oranges with plump cereal. Big mouthfeel. Water reveals chocolate orange.

Aftertaste:

Cardamom and black pepper with dried lemon peel and toasted grain.

Overall:

A dry, wonderfully complex malt with chocolate orange fruitiness, desiccated coconut, light meatiness and delicate spice.
