Nose: Freshly aromatic: grassy, spicy and lemongrassy.

Palate: Soft, spicy: cinnamon and, ginger. Beautiful balance of sweetness and dryness.

Score: 7.5

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
