Master of MaltNose: A gigantic hit of melted dark chocolate, with aromas of sponge cake alongside tart cherry jam and lots of dark berries, reminiscent of a Black Forest gâteau. A hint of barley and toasty oak follows.Palate: Lots of dried fruit here, with slightly burnt coffee, a good hit of oak spice and aromatic warming baking spice, with silky caramel.Finish: Blackcurrant jam, with loads more of that berry sweetness and bitter dark chocolate lingering on a clean and spicy finish.
