Tasting notes from Wemyss Malts


Colour:
Golden Syrup.

Nose: A singed brown paper bag containing grilled apricots and damp clods of rooty earth. A sweet, almost perfumed aroma like quality vanilla nougat and flaked almonds completes this intriguing aroma.

Palate: Delicate peat surrounds the fruity flavours with good integration. Candied fruits buried in malt loaf with the charred flavours holing court throughout.

Finish: The smoke stay with a sweet oily complex.

Since I won't make it to the festival, I sure hope that my colleague will fetch me a sample of this Bunna. (Yep, Laurent, that's you I'm talking about!)
