Tasting Notes

Nose

Transports you to the pubs on Islay. A classic, comforting nose of lemon, lime, honey, oatcakes, sea spray, TCP and treacle, along with some lily and coconut.

Palate

Charcoal sticks and bonfire smoke against vanilla, lemon juice, heather, ash, black pepper and a soupcon of honey, all enjoyed in a Himalayan salt chamber.

Finish

A beach bonfire smoulders, having been put out with sea water.

Comment

Interesting. Peat is high – you could be chewing on sticks of charcoal. Lacks sweetness to balance things out.
