Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Banana, honey and some Marmite-y yeast notes. There's a heap of brown sugar in here too as well as peaty porridge and a little dried papaya.
Palate
Bacon, dates, a bit more yeast and well-barbecued apple slices.
Finish
Some kind of salted barbecued goods (not my Mastermind subject).
Overall
Breakfast whisky, only the breakfast is a bit all over the place. It's many breakfasts at once really, which, as it's a whisky not a breakfast, might actually be fine?
