Nose
Rich malt, honey, a generous fruit sweetness. The cask strength gives the nose real intensity. Beneath the malt, vanilla, dried apricot and a gentle warmth. The floor-malted Cotswolds barley adds a distinctive cereal richness. Impressive for a young English malt.
Palate
Full and malty — honey, fruit, a generous oak warmth. The cask strength gives the young spirit body and presence. Mid-palate brings toffee, a gentle spice and a warm cereal richness. The STR cask influence adds tropical fruit notes.
Finish
Medium-long, with rich malt and a generous warmth.
