Malt Master pays homage to the Portuguese origins of these great seagoing vessels, finishing this supreme maritime whisky in a combination of Ruby, White and Tawny port casks.
Nose: Subtle aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and honey reveal themselves delicately. Mouth: On the palate, notes of cereal, dried fruit and toasted oak bring remarkable depth and elegance. Finish: The finish is long and warm, giving way to spicy, woody notes that linger pleasantly on the palate.
Nose: Burnt honey, barley sugar candies, very rich and intriguing. Maraschino cherries burning on a campfire, or red apple peel alongside rich cigar smoke.
Mouth: Malty, rich with an intensity of dark red berries. Genuine notes of cherry and cranberry with a touch of spice.
Finish: More spice, but with a salty sea note right at the end… truly refreshing.
Nose: Through orange chocolate and crème brûlee comes perfume and spice — rose petals, lilac, and carnation, chased by cumin, saffron, and nutmeg. Add water, and delicate fruits and a fresh menthol breeze sneak out.
Palate: Ginger, black pepper, and mint are followed by toffee, demerara sugar, and sugar-coated almonds. Then comes that eucalyptus lift with marmalade and dark chocolate in the backdrop.
Finish: The finish lingers with clove, leather, and peppermint, leaving your tongue humming like it’s been on a spice-market bar crawl.
Nose: opens with coconut, oat biscuits, and zesty orange peel, layered with salty sea air, leaves on a bonfire, and a hint of strawberry laces and mint. Mouth: rich and creamy, with custard creams, vanilla wafer, brine, and earthy smoke. Finish: A lingering, smoky and maritime warmth
