Why it might work

  • A shared threadMarine, warm spicy, aquatic and aromatic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Malt in fall and winter and Shelter Island in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Malt is long lasting and moderate, Shelter Island long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
