Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
A delicate introduction of sweet mandarin orange citrus with green banana and vanilla, followed by light herbal notes, pot still spices like cardamom, nutmeg, and peppers. There are also notes of vanilla, honey, toffee, lemon peels, red apple, melon, apricots, peaches, gooseberries, coconut shavings, sage, rosemary, light varnish, gentle baking spice, and ginger.
Palate
Smooth and silky with initial sweetness of vanilla and red apple, then more robust spices like cinnamon, clove, and root ginger. It also features honey, toffee, butterscotch, orchard fruits (apples, pears), orange peel, baked pear, fragrant apricot, and cereal notes.
Finish
Medium to extra long, with peppery vanilla, fading astringency, spices subsiding to green fruit and stalks of barley, touches of clove and green pepper, and a buttery mouthfeel.
