Nose

Big and malty, with caramel toffee, honey, cream and toasted nuts. With water some citrus notes, stewed fruits and dried herbs. It has impact but no great complexity.

Palate

The toffee dominates but it fades a bit too quickly and fails to fill the mouth or excite the taste buds.

Finish

Nutty. Short and dry.

Comment

Lacks direction and energy. A simple starter for a malt novice but I'd rather have a good blend.
