Tasting Notes

Colour

light gold

air Nose

it’s not stellar but I like the royals better than the monks. Rather grassy, with some porridge, vanilla, touches of liquorice wood, more grass, more grass, even more grass… And caramel/toffee. In short, a grassy blend, not very aromatic but not unpleasant. A why not? blend so far

restaurant Palate

indeed it’s better than the Ye Monks, much better! Smokier, fresher, cleaner, more vivid so to speak, I can see why some hot countries such as Thailand would enjoy this profile. Having said that, it’s not top shelf material either, as the background remains a tad too cardboardy and caramelly. A good blend nonetheless

timer Finish

a little short but there are some nice notes of apple juice and fresh malt. A little smoke in the aftertaste - no bitter aftertaste this time
