Review and Tasting

Sampled on 21/04/2017

Appearance:

Clear, golden yellow.

Aroma:

Malty, biscuit nose with wafts of fresh coffee, apple skin, balsawood and subtle hints of tinned pineapple. More sweet biscuit and pineapple with water.

Taste:

Quite sweet, fruity and rounded with delicate wafts of smoke, strong bourbon notes, hints of espresso and oily mineral notes. Water dries, killing this malts attractive richness.

Aftertaste:

Refreshingly clean finish features minty, grapefruit and flinty, minerally notes.

Overall:

Rich and biscuity with bitter chocolate and espresso. While we like this 16 Year Old we mourn the demise of the 45% alc./vol. 15 year old.
