Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Butterscotch on the nose, with soft sweetness and Demerara sugar.

Palate

Soft with gentle spices, charcoal, cinnamon bark, hints of cold coffee and honey.

Finish

Pertains to sweetness, but really the beauty of this is the aromatic savouriness that lies underneath the caramel.
