Nose

Tarry and slightly meaty with dusty peat, violets and fish oils. Some pleasantly sweet barley underpins and with time it becomes gently medicinal

Palate

The natural oils dampen the complexity a little but there’s a good depth of white fruit, subtle, dusty peat, tar, cinnamon and rock salt.

Finish

Phenomenally salty. Add to that a little bittering from the oak and that’s pretty dry!

Comment

I can feel the salt crystals forming on my tongue after that one!
