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.
