Posh Malt captures the core DNA of Pure Malt effectively, delivering a convincing smoky-malty character with strong woody-peat accords. The clone maintains similar projection and drydown characteristics, though the oriental sweetness in the base feels slightly softer and less nuanced than the original's complexity.
The clone slightly reduces the oriental richness in favor of a drier leather-tobacco profile in the heart. Longevity is comparable, but sillage on Posh Malt is marginally less prominent in the opening 2 hours.
