Tasting Notes | |
Oliver Klimek | Colour: Bright gold - Nose: Raisins, banana, nuts, honey, vanilla, hints of nutmeg and freshly cut wood. - Palate: Toasted hazelnuts, honey, banana, sweet grapes, vanilla fudge, nutmeg and hints of pepper. - Finish: Very long, fruity and mildly spicy. - Overall: An excellent lightly sherried malt that nonchalantly manages to do the splits between complexity and ease of drinking. |
