Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Spiced, rich nose with notes of baked apple and cinnamon. Hints of beeswax, potpourri and iodine. A little furniture polish, dried apricot, sticking plasters and parsley.
Palate
Herbal and very complex palate with fiery peat smoke and citrus zest. Bitter lime juice, caramel, toasted teacakes and cocoa powder. Hints of curry spice and cardamom.
Finish
Very long finish with hints of burnt sugar, black pepper and mixed spices.
Overall
Absolutely astonishing.
