Taster

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.
