Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Generous barley, developing into creamy vanilla and a little bit of bramley apple pie. Sweet, sticky Sherry notes offer a supporting sweetness.
Palate
Spicy cinnamon and black pepper, balanced with more Sherried sweetness. Dried apricots and prunes.
Finish
Vanilla extract and diced almond-topped pastries. Lingering raisin notes.
