Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Pale to medium gold; natural colour, bright and inviting, medium legs
Nose
Fruity top note complexity — bergamot, clementine, honeyed apricot, and wild cherry. Rising from a floor-malted base of nutty kilned malt, barley sugar, and almond cream. More fruit-forward than earlier editions
Palate
Bright and fruity. The citrus and stone fruit notes are more prominent than in previous editions, with bergamot and apricot leading. The floor-malted base provides earthy depth. Barley sugar and almond cream create a rich mid-palate. Medium-full body
Finish
Medium-long finish with lingering fruit, malt, and gentle spice. The third edition is the most fruit-forward of the series, showing evolution in Rachel Barrie's approach to the Malting Season concept
