Andrew’s Tasting Note

Nose: very honeyed and nutty; Quaker Harvest Crunch; decadent with marzipan and candied grapefruit; there is a floral almost minty profile.

Palate: decadent and very creamy; more Quaker Harvest Crunch, barely touched by the milk; loads of candied fruits both sweet and tart, hence the grapefruit on the nose; there is an oily coating, goats milk character and canned pineapple.

Finish: long, coating and decadent with more tart citrus fruits; big but balance.

Comment: it is easy to see why a blender would like working with a malt like this; it has a great body and lovely oils; the cask has softened it up and added nicely to it.
