Nose: Rich and inviting, with barley and ripe orchard fruits leading the way. Hints of vanilla add a gentle sweetness to the malty character.
Taste: Full bodied. Sweet and rich, with barley and caramel taking centre stage. Soft leather adds a slightly darker, more mature dimension, nicely balancing the sweetness.
Finish: Medium long. A cooler, lightly minty character emerges, accompanied by soft leather and lingering maltiness. A pleasantly fresh contrast to the richer palate.
Comment: Rich malt.
