Tasting notes

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: Fruit malt loaf with strawberry jam. Chocolate coated cinder toffee with hints of caramel toffee. Fresh oak, sawmills.
Palate: Fairly gentle with the oak providing decent grip. Light and fresh with a little lemon balm and mint tea.
Finish: Refreshing and dry.
Comment: Not a bad drop at a decent age. A pre dinner discussive malt.
