Posh Malt
While both share a boozy-fruity core, A*Men Pure Malt has a distinct maltiness that some find challenging. Posh Malt offers a smoother, sweeter, and perhaps more approachable interpretation of the same DNA. The key difference lies in the intensity of the malt note; Pure Malt is bolder, while Posh Malt is more balanced. If you crave the original's unique punch, seek out Pure Malt. However, if you prefer a refined and budget-friendly alternative, Posh Malt is an excellent choice, potentially even surpassing the original for some.

A legendary boozy-fruity masterpiece, Pure Malt is mourned by many since its discontinuation, but loved dearly by those lucky enough to still own a bottle. It's a divisive scent, though, with its unique maltiness not for everyone.
A boozy, sweet, and surprisingly nuanced take on a classic. This isn't just a clone, it's a high-quality interpretation that might even outshine the original for some. Just give it time to 'breathe' after opening.
