Taster
Nose: Thin and spirity. Exceptionally malty and reminiscent of boiled barley-sugar candy.
Palate: Sweet, grassy-sharp and mouthwatering. Dominant malt, a hint of banana and custard.
Finish: Intense vanilla and caramel with rich oaky tones and a delicate hint of smoke. Slightly bitter at finish.
Comment: One of the better samples I've tasted recently. This malt can be temperamental. Delightfully intense but a lack of complexity through the middle disappoints.
Score: 7
