From Malt: "Colour: deep copper. On the nose: lovely balance of savoury and sweet notes. Toasted, almost charred oak, and some vanilla off the back of it. An intense maltiness. Baked apples, and an almost mead-like quality. Once it settles those apple notes really begin to dominate, and it transitions into the dustiness and grassiness of a late summer barn. In the mouth: such an intense combination of the wood and malt, that it comes across like a warmth from light peat. And that mingles with the late-summer apple quality very well. A touch of straw. More depth from the fruits, with blackcurrants, raisins, apricots, perhaps some ginger in there with blood oranges – or even orange marmalade. A medium to light texture and one can’t help but wonder how amazing if the inherent spirit was a little more oilier, but that’s just my weird personal preference for heavier whiskies of late."
