Taste note
-
Colour:
Light gold
-
Nose:
Barley malt coming through easily, I can tell is a little younger. Sweet and gentle hints of smoke. Green toffee apples and a touch of citrus /orange peel, fresh pineapple, Creme brûllée. Hints of black cracked pepper.
-
Palate:
Instant sweet hit of smooth barley and vanilla sugars with slight spices kicking in after a moment along with a slight smokiness. Oak hinting strongly right in the background, enough depth to peak your interest. Fairly light mouthfeel, but feels balanced, summery and easy going.
-
Finish:
Spiced warmth hits your chest and dies away reasonably fast with dying embers lasting much longer.
-
Conclusion:
An average start of the warrior series. Svein gives a floral and citrus punch with hints of smoke.
