Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
Exceptionally herbal yet fresh, with strong marine notes (fishing nets and wet beach sand).
Palate
Lots of sea salt heralding a wave of spices, bitterness of oak and traces of ash.
Finish
Long and spicy, with notes of cough syrup, a touch of tar and peat smoke in the background.
