February 28, 2024 (edited August 3, 2024)
Nose - Prunes, raisins, dark soy, dark chocolate
Taste - Prunes, raisins, cherry juice, sweet savory soy sauce, dark chocolate, wet oak
Finish - Light sweet/bitter, prunes, raisins, cherry juice
Score - 82/100
Final Thoughts - The nose on this one felt very very similar to the 10 and the 12, but strangely felt a bit more muted. On the palate it felt a bit brighter like cherry/pomegranate juice. The savory nature of this malt came through once again with this dark soy vibe, but something about this felt a bit off near the end and through to the finish. It had this almost but not quite metallic vibe that threw things a bit off.
