Based on 2 published Maltiply reviews.
- Nose
- Buttery biscuit, lemon zest, milk chocolate and warming hints of ginger and cinnamon.
- Palate
- Seedless raisins, stewed plums and lively pineapple notes rise among sugary oat biscuits with a touch of crushed almonds. It's subtly herbal, and peppered with oak spices.
- Finish
- Medium length, spicy malt and charred oak linger, as sweet spearmint softly forms the backdrop.

Raisins and stewed plums alongside oak spice suit my taste. The medium-length, charred-oak finish keeps me interested, though not inclined to chase it blindly.

The stewed fruit and sweet oat biscuits sound warm and easy to like. The subtle herbal note and spearmint in the finish add a fresh touch that suits my tastes.
