Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
An elegant nose full of red berry and clean, classic rye notes. Touches of cherry, golden syrup and a hint of white pepper. Perhaps a whiff of salted liquorice.
Palate
Brilliantly mouth-coating. The rye spice gets dialled up a notch here, alongside hearty helpings of nutmeg and cinnamon. Still has plenty of berry notes to it (think blackberry and a hint of raspberry), though now with a pleasing orange glaze.
Finish
Subtly drying, with very evocative notes of fresh, juicy clementine lasting. Red rope liquorice, too.
