A strong little bottle. It would be great given more time in the barrel. None the less, very enjoyable.
Review by: Rich
Nose: The best part of the malt.Sweet toffee, butterscotch, slightly spicy with sweet malt undertones. Mouth: Slightly spicy, some gentle sweetness
Palate: Artificial tasting. No complexity. The sweatness comes and goes quickly.I don't "trust" the authenticity of this malt, maybe caramel, maybe bad casks, whatever. I don't enjoy this
Finish: A hint of spice overtaken by "dullness." My tongue is left with a odd, numb coating.
