Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Quite full. There are notes of honey and wax, resin and oak. There are notes of gentle smoke and cacao, hints of cooked fruit and a nutty note.
Palate
Sweet and rich. There are crisp notes of mixed peels, raisin and custard with a little zest and plenty of oak.
Finish
Long with notes of oak and cocoa and sherried peels.
