Tasting Notes

air Nose
lovely at first sniffs, it’s a big distillate with little sherry influence, if any. Not too sure because there is a wee raisiny side, with also walnuts, so this could be a sherry hogshead as well. Other than that, a lot of Ovaltine, fudge or millionaire shortbread and then totally massive notes of milk chocolate. A creamy one such as Lindt (I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t quote brand names, this is just lazy writing). Also a little menthol. It’s superb distillate and the one of the maltiest malts
restaurant Palate
yes it’s an excellent one again, very malty again, chocolaty, with some fudge and cappuccino as well as caramel and sweet liquorice. Also candy sugar and then… even more chocolate. Marmalade
timer Finish
long, more on Seville oranges and vanilla. Oh, and chocolate. Slightly bitter and smoky aftertaste, very pleasant. Schweppes
