Enters gently on the nose with malted, and almost toasted, barley notes as well as a little tart frutiness. Also, picking up hints reminiscent of a lightly peated scotch and grain/hay. Sits light on the palette. No burn, but a subtle warmth in the back of the throat along with notes of creamy barley. Finishes with an almost woodsy vanilla with latent spiciness. An excellent choice for the price.
