  • By Serge
  • Probably no racehorse but it’s superbly composed and won’t disappoint anybody. One of the best ‘easy/commercial’ malts in my opinion.

  • By Christopher Null
  • Very enjoyable and easy to drink. Melds well flavors of light sweetness, wood, and just a touch of smoke. I like it.

  • It’s an absolute pleasure. The warm and velvety, bordering on oily, texture and deep rich flavors create a robust and attention grabbing flavor profile.

  • By John Hansell
  • Its flavors are rich and enveloping, with notes of treacle, toffee, roasted nuts, and a long, spicy, woody finish that lingers.

  • Nose:

    Honey, leather, sherry. Nutty and funky wine notes. Toasted almonds, toffee and some nice tobacco.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouthfeel, mild heat. Sweet sherry, toasted almonds and vanilla toffee. Faint pepper, with a nice fruity undertone.

  • Finish:

    Medium length, nice and mild here on the heat, with lots of pepper, sweet nutty toffee and faint cocoa.

  • Overall:

    Excellent, savory, rich and decadent bottling with plenty of complexity.

  • Score:

    88
