Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

ah but this is lovely! Lemon-driven, very fresh, very coastal too, with green apple and a few touches of kippers or even anchovies. Quite different from Skye and Storm, much cleaner—whatever that may mean

restaurant Palate

yes, this is rather excellent, more on rooty notes this time, acidic apple, samphire, and indeed a great deal of freshness. Not sure if they were going for a ‘splash’ effect, but if so, they’ve nailed it

timer Finish

limoncello shows up, salty, peppery, and mingled with seawater. Throw in a few whelks and you’ve got the next trendy cocktail—just don’t forget to remove the shells. Hints of honey and apple liqueur in the aftertaste, even a wee drop of tequila. Tequila?
