Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Toffees. It really does smell just like toffees. Allspice, lots of brown sugar, a touch of anise, Cinnamon Grahams and even a hint of chilli.
Palate
Tangy toffee now, a little chalk and increasingly charred oak spice, charred oak and, yep, definitely some smoke in there...
Finish
What do you know, it's smoky!
Overall
The smokiest unpeated release for many years, with plenty of bourbon cask character.
