Nose
Lightly fragrant. Skins of dessert apples. Palate
Smooth. Syrupy. A touch of vanilla-pod. Spicy (a hint of clove?). Lively. Finish
Flowery dryness. Slightly stinging. Comment
A dessert malt, perhaps, but for that purpose I prefer sweeter bottlings.
Dave Broom
Nose
Dry, nutty and airy. Dried banana on muesli, green grassy notes, tea leaves, walnut. Palate

Soft. Comment
Attractive and delicate.
