Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
Intense peat smoke, iodine, and sea salt mingle with sweet notes of sherry, vanilla, and dried fruits like clementines and white peaches. Hints of tar, bonfire, and cured meats are also present.
Palate
A thick and rich mouthfeel delivers powerful peat and oak, balanced by sweet sherry, malt, and fruity notes of orange and pineapple. Savory elements like grilled beef, black olives, and seaweed emerge, alongside a pleasant salinity.
Finish
Long and spicy, with lingering peat smoke, figs, dates, and vanilla. Notes of iodine, diesel, and toasted oak are present, along with a dry, savory character of smoked bacon and walnuts.

That long, spicy finish is the main draw here: peat smoke lingers alongside figs, dates, and a dry, savory note. There’s plenty going on, but the finish gives it a clear landing.
