The Master of Malt
Coastal Tang!
A superb Northern Coastal malt! Pale orange colour and full sea salt nose. Great first taste Orange spice then peppery seaweed long finish. A magnificent malt and amazing value at this price.
A base for theJW Gold Label
Very classy whisky! Orangy&smokey in the nose, oily in the palate, a terrific, long finish
Mustard finish
Simply excellent just purchased 2nd bottle. As good as the most famous malts actually I think it's better I've only just discovered it too!
Bonfires?
Difficult to classify - interesting and doesnt conform to a generic 'type'. Definitely smooth, dry, spicy tangerines and smoke. Long finish that hints at autumn bonfires, and I'd also agree to 'mustard'. I couldnt detect vanilla or american oak. Must have another glass, but jury is still out.
