Malt Fascination (86)

Sniff:
Stewed strawberries and rhubarb, with old, wet oak behind it. Quite some barley, with hessian and coconut mats.

Sip:
The palate is unsurprisingly sharp with lots of red fruit. Sticky toffee pudding, cinnamon, cherries and almonds. Again, the stewed strawberry.

Swallow:
The finish has more black pepper and while the heat dissipates, there’s some spiciness that lingers. Old oak casks, and slightly less fruity.

Well, it sure is pink and it’s a very true port cask. Lots of red fruits and that old oak that I often find in port casks. Pretty good, but not stellar. It doesn’t leave much room for the whisky, which again is typical for a lot of port casks.
