Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Creamy and sweet nose, with notes of various berry fruits, and the jams thereof. Custard, stewed fruits and apple strudel. Huge vanilla notes.
Palate
Caramelised bananas, orange marmalade and melted vanilla icecream. Hints of brandy, prune and dates.
Finish
Sparkling spicy oak, banana and vanilla. Beautiful.
