Light. Wholemeal bread/dry grass/bran/Ryvita, with some fresh soft fruits behind (raspberry). Brown boot polish, freshly baked bread.
Palate
Light still, but with more fruit. Vanilla and caramelised fruits. Good silky, rounded, feel.
Finish
Smooth, liquorous.
Comment
A malty nose but balanced and quite sweet on the palate. A drinkable session dram.
