Mars Maltage 3 Plus 25 Pure Malt 28 Year Old is a rare, long-aged pure malt from the Mars Maltage line. This 28-year expression offers a refined, well-integrated profile with a balance of fruit, malt, and oak. Expect a rich nose with dried fruit, cocoa, and citrus zest, a full-bodied palate of dark chocolate, fig, spice, and leather, and a long, warming finish with lingering spice and cocoa notes.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Dried fruit (raisins, fig), orange zest, cocoa, toffee, cedar, and polished oak; hint of smoke.
- Palate: Full-bodied and smooth; malt-forward with dark chocolate, dried plum, candied orange, leather, and spice (cinnamon, nutmeg); well-balanced oak.
- Finish: Long and warming; spice and cocoa persist, with subtle fruit sweetness fading slowly.
- Overall: Elegant integration, with a restrained smokiness and a strong, refined malt character.
