Nose Coconut, caramel, Coco Lopez… tropical! Isle of Aultmore, five star hotel, all expenses paid… sorry. Thick and creamy. A bit leafy, grassy. Mangoes and bananas. Malty! Salted caramel.
Palate Thick and oily. Quite spicy… nutmeg, cinnamon. Oak. Banana sundae, mango, pineapple… desiccated coconut… tropical paradise. Sweet and malty. A hint of cola? With water, a little grass. Orange acidity, citrus oils.
Finish So warm. Creamy, jam and scones. White chocolate and some lightly roasted almonds. Very long, malty. With water, creamier.
