Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
Mellow, with green grapes, tropical fruits (papaya, mango, honeydew melon), subtle milk chocolate, sweet fondant, sandalwood spice, Christmas cake, brown sugar, strawberry marmalade, old cigar boxes, dry cacao, and charred oak.
Palate
Rich, creamy-smooth texture, initially sweet and crisply fruity, then sweetly spicy with notes of Christmas pudding and sticky ginger cake. Espresso, cacao, anise, and liquorice root add complexity.
Finish
Long, glowing with spiciness, leaving a tongue tingling sensation. Warming and deeply satisfying, with waves of ground white pepper, charred oak, liquorice root, honey, and cherry marmalade.

Green grapes and tropical fruit give this a bright start, but the overall character leans richer and sweeter, with Christmas cake, ginger cake, and lingering spice. That contrast sounds appealing, though it’s more warming and dessert-like than crisp.

I like the contrast between the green grapes and tropical fruit up front and the darker espresso, cacao and liquorice on the palate. Christmas pudding and sticky ginger cake bring a sweet, spicy thread through the middle, while white pepper, charred oak and cherry marmalade carry it into a long finish. That shift from bright fruit to deeper spice gives this 20-year-old Highland single malt a clear, appealing shape.
