Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
Divine aromas of marzipan, dark chocolate and apple shisha tobacco combined to form a golden halo above rose petals dipped in allspice and sherry.
Palate
Plums, bananas and fudge, sipping sticky dessert wine from a golden grail, with deep, rich dried fruit flavors and a touch of polished wood.
Finish
Long and satisfying with lingering notes of old oak and dried figs, a fusion of quince, coconut and cherry sweets rolled in fragrant hibiscus flowers.

Dark chocolate and marzipan alongside rose and allspice make an appealing opening; plums, fudge and dried fruit give the palate a richer direction. The long finish of old oak and figs sounds like a satisfying close.

This leans firmly toward rich, sweet fruit rather than the herbal or tea notes I tend to look for. The contrast of plum and banana with fudge sounds especially appealing, while rose petals and allspice give the nose a more lifted edge alongside the chocolate and marzipan. Old oak and dried figs carry that weight through the finish. A coherent, dessert-leaning character, though not an especially close match for my usual preferences.
