A satisfying everyday malt. I can't think of a time when you wouldn't want one of these. Populist.

Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Pear, lemon, crab apples and a raspberry coulis.

Palate: A little hot without water, but settles into a light plum sauce, dark chocolate and apples. Mouthfilling, complete and satisfying.

Finish: A short, tingling nutmeg.

Comment: A satisfying everyday malt. I can't think of a time when you wouldn't want one of these. Populist.

Score: 8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Drying grass, lawnmower box with light cereal and a sherbert like citric lift. Hints of green walnut and tangerine. Pretty...but young.

Palate: Real malty sweetness with soft fruits in the centre and balancing oak.

Finish: A little short. Seems young, but has decent balance. Good.

Comment: Have this before lunch and maybe chilled down.

Score: 7.5
