Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

one of these old malts that display big notes of roasted chestnuts and other nuts, as well as touches of old rancio and honey-coated baked fruits. A few walnuts as well, raisins, a little marmalade, then touches of iron that may come from bottle ageing. Almost forgot to mention Marmite. Ah, Marmite! I find this nose rather lovely

restaurant Palate

all in keeping with the nose, with this yeasty maltiness covered with glazed chestnuts at first sips, but it tends to become a little weaker and disjointed. You never know with low strength malts in old bottles! Oranges, malt, cardboard. Drinkable, but forgettable and a little flattish flavour-wise

timer Finish

a little short, with some burnt oak and more cardboard
