Serge Valentin (81)

Colour: straw.

Nose: well, I’m afraid I quite like this nose, it’s very fresh and fruity, and the rhum agricole from HSE seems to have brought notes of bananas and pineapples that perfectly complement Benriach’s usual mangos and tangerines. This premix isn’t very complicated, but indeed the fruitiness is very sexy.

Mouth: again, no dissonances, it’s an engaging fruity malt, although there’s rather more grass as well. Grapefruits, skins and peelings… The body’s also more than satisfactory.

Finish: a little short, maltier, maybe a little bitter now. Touches of burnt sugar.

Comments: some friends are looking for easy summer malts these days. This baby’s one worthy candidate
