Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Caramelised apples, sweet popcorn, sponge cake, a hint of toasted oak building.
Palate More orchard fruit, now with baked apricot and a hint of orange zest. Still got loads of buttery vanilla notes to it, plus a touch of spicy nutmeg.
Finish Cakey notes continue, paired with a whiff of smoky oak and butterscotch.
