Nose

Interesting, youthful and very malty. Like a Dutch malt-wine with sweet barley, honey and a winey, Grappa-like note. A touch of buttery oak along with what feels like a little rye spice.

Palate

Crisper and edgy with more earthy rye-like notes and hints of sweet barley and youthful Grappa-like spirit. Subtle, dusty spice with building whisky notes and a suggestion of oak. \n

Finish

Good length, if a little dry. Subtle and smoky with malt biscuits and dark rye-like notes.\n

Comment

Curious and entertaining. I would have liked to have seen a little more balancing oak character on the palate.
