Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
relatively light and complex at the same time. No big aromas this time, no sherried goodness (and with good reason), rather a combination of barley, bread, and assorted nuts. I could see pistachios and Brazil nuts, for example. Anyway, no big talker so far... With water: much nicer, all on cereals, Weetabix, barley syrup, white chocolate, and just three grams of sawdust, I would not call it IKEA-y
restaurant Palate
rather raw, rather brutal, and rather unpolished, which comes unexpected. Apple juice, green wood, touches of molasses, pineapple drops, grenadine, coconut... Not the most precise malt ever so far. With water: it doesn’t get any more precise, but there are nicer touches of coconut water and roasted sesame seeds
timer Finish
long, with much more citrus. Oranges, Jaffa cakes... That’s excellent, but that’s a little late
