Taster

Nose: Salty, rooty, seaweed.

Palate: Salty. Grainy. Some wood-pulp, sulphury, notes.

Finish: New mown hay. Sweetness. Slight peatiness, saltiness.

Comment: I am not sure about that sulphur. Is it from the cask, or is it seaweedy? I usually like seaweed, but am not convinced by this bottling.
