Judging Results |
Silver |
Nutty, cashew quality. Amontillado style, but with too much sugar to balance out. Topaque style. Very brown sugar in essence. Tad out of whack. |
Carmel, developed, notes of straw. Palate is balances between sugar and acid. Moreish and interesting, |
Roses, tea and butterscotch, touch of coffee and caramel on the palate. Nice mouthfeel, good complexity but a bit of spirit burn mars the palate and length - not without nice complexity. |
brown light green tinge. hazelnut, almond, very toasted nuts - med plus intensity on the nose. med-sweet, medium plus intensity with changing and long length of dried apple skin, toasted hazelnuts, chocolate. |
