ABV 59.6%

An enticing islander. A dash of water gives a velvety feel but in the same time, enhances the sootiness, hence a dusty feel on the tongue.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Smoky. Phenolic. Creosote. Rain on a bonfire by the shore. Farm yard. A\rcitrussy note. Grapefruit juice.

Palate: Sweet and gently flowing. Wild silk. The smoky and peaty flavours unwind elegantly, mingling with lemon pulp and cereals.

Finish: Sherbety, tingling and lively.

Comment: An enticing islander. A dash of water gives a velvety feel but in the same time, enhances the sootiness, hence a dusty feel on the tongue.

Score: 8.2

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Peaty at first. Warmed tyres. A touch of wet dog by the sea. Sharp citrus fruits and some sweetness.

Palate: That sweet smoke revealed a sharp spiced edge. Lemon drops and a chilli\rtang dry the mouth.

Finish: Fizzy and reviving.

Comment: A great restorative dram that gives you what it says it will.

Score: 8.4
