Tasting Notes
Ma2 - Elements of Islay (Margadale) Producer Notes
Nose: Rich custard with aniseed, stem ginger and a background note of coastal smoke. Thicker notes of banana with toasted vanilla pods emerge.
Palate: Thick and oily, accompanied by flavours of orange juice and cigar smoke. Oak sweetness and spice develops, creating tones of sherbetdipped liquorice.
Finish: Clean and fresh. Grilled green apples slowly fade.
