TASTING NOTES
NOSE Fresh, juicy red fruits like gala apple, red grape and pomegranate are to the fore. The high malt content of this blend is clear with notes of sweet barley and honey. In time these fresh, sweet flavours give way for a pronounced cinnamon spice.
PALATE The fresh fruit on the nose continues onto the palate and becomes slightly darker with flavours of fresh plum and cherry. A citrus note, like candied orange peel, emerges before a final pinch of cinnamon.
FINISH Clean with continued flavours of apple and grape.
