Tasting Notes by Malt And Oak

Appearance: Golden polished pine. Long thin, and speedy viscous legs

Nose: Another youngster to appear, this one is also initially quite spirity on the nose but sweet sherry is also at the forefront. It’s is backed-up by lots of candied dried & perfumed fruit with signs of
chocolaty-nuttiness as well – Nutella.  The nose on this is lovely.

Palate: A gentle sweet delivery that is more toned-down than I expected. However, it’s a
lovely arrival of sherry and honey with nuts (creamy hazelnut or macadamia) compliment
the performance.

Finish: Long with a great balance of sweetness supported by a gentle and forgiving
dry pepper-bite. Almonds, warm sticky caramel, and faint stewed mango are
there at the end.

Water adds… more toffee & now stewed tropical fruit on the nose. The sweetness
is toned down a notch, but now there’s runny honey in the viscosity.
The finish delivers a chocolate-covered fruit lolly.

Conclusion: This 12-year old is really lovely. The younger spirit does present a more
active prod of youth and alcohol, but it’s sweet, well behaved, and already showing
signs of an early maturity.
