| Tasting Notes |
| Oliver Klimek | Nose: Quite "farmy" at first, compost and even a trace of manure, with water it becomes smoky and maritime -
Palate: Medium peat, tropical fruit, a hint of coconut and a pinch of salt -
Finish: Extremely long, salty fruity peat -
Overall: This is an extremely complex malt with aromas that seem to come and go in waves during time. |
