Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
Fresh and spicy with aromas of green apple, damp hay, beeswax and a hint of marzipan. Slightly medicinal with notes of malt and a whisper of smoke.
Palate
Elegant yet powerful. Citrus oil, green tea, peppery spices and hints of walnut wood. A lightly waxy mouthfeel with subtle salinity.
Finish
Long and dry with notes of orange peel, oak and a trace of camphor. Intriguing and layered to the very end.
