Official tasting notes.
Golden straw soft gold colour.
The nose is gentle and inviting, showing aromas of oak, caramel, butter scotch, dark chocolate, red berries and honey, the palate is soft with fruit notes and a whisp of vanilla. Great example of port wood new make working its magic. Full length through the pallet. The extra alcohol on this bottling certainly enhances the character of this malt. A faint hint of smoke from our heavy char closes out this malt. A faint tingling of smoke closes out this malt.
