Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

14-carat gold color shimmers with purity and oils. Tobacco-like aroma is dry to off-dry, grainy, slightly buttery/oily, with nuances of sawdust, oak plank, white pepper. Taste profile is loaded with focused grain flavors, especially malt, oatmeal/porridge, breakfast cereal toastiness. Very appealing malt of substance.
