A rich, sweet malt best drunk with only a drop of water, when it holds its sweetness better.

Nose

Muscat grapes and Madeira wine, brimstone in the background, even tar. Dried apricots in the foreground, and treacle toffee.

Body

Medium to full bodied, but not cloying.

Palate

Rich and mouth-filling, with a good balance.

Finish

A curious sweetness is introduced at the end, after the acidity and dryish finish has passed.

Extended Tasting Notes:

Taste

in brief… Interesting and unusual sweet aftertaste. in a sentence… A rich, sweet malt best drunk with only a drop of water, when it holds its sweetness better.

Nose:

Muscat grapes and madeirised wine; a hint of over- the-top Sauternes. More than a whiff of brimstone in the background, even tar. Dried apricots in the foreground, and treacle toffee. Becomes more toffied as it is exposed to the air. With water, a dense combination of sweet and rich scents, like a basket of dried fruit, with some fresh gooseberries, apricots and oranges, topped by Russian toffees. The winey notes have fallen back

Finish:

Very curiously, a sweetness is introduced at the end, after the acidity and dryish finish has passed.
