72
Nose
Sweet malt, a touch of caramel and more than a suggestion of liquorice.
Palate
Sweet and malty, but with a tannin-like dryness reminiscent of tea and another touch of liquorice. Sadly, not very fresh tasting.
Finish
Sweetness lingers for a while but the finish is generally dry, bitter and malty, with more liquorice.

Nose
Roasted nuts and cast iron.
Palate
A thin body dominated by roasted malt.
Finish
Dry finish with a slightly sweet and acrid aroma.
Comment
Good if you like things firm and dry. Treads the fine line between moreish and merely thin.
