TASTE: On the palate, Mars Maltage Cosmo is smooth and soft, with a refined mouthfeel. The whisky offers a delightful combination of sweetness and fruitiness, with flavors of ripe fruit, such as apples, peaches, and a hint of citrus. There’s a creamy texture from the grain whisky, which adds to the overall smoothness. A subtle oak influence adds depth, with light vanilla and a touch of spice, while the sherry cask imparts a mild sweetness that lingers on the tongue.
