Maltiply Tasting Profile

Nose: Harmonious blend of smoky and earthy aromas with a coastal influence, citrus juices, lobster traps, fisherman's rope, bacon fat, pancake batter, dry leaves, melon slices, grapefruit.
Palate: Symphony of flavors with prominent smokiness, subtle oak, and a hint of sweetness, chalky, sweet melon and pineapple juice, dry peat smoke like burning leaves on a cold day, bbq banana, some clementine, slightly floral.
Finish: Long and satisfying with lingering peat smoke, gentle oak, and maritime salinity, with the smokiness that builds.

Prominent peat smoke and maritime salinity lead, with citrus and sweet melon bringing a brighter contrast. the smoke sounds like a clear feature, not the whole story.
