Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
that familiar 'hug' of Lagavulin 12 that includes hot chips drenched in malt vinegar, cornichons in brine, smoked sea salt, mezcal and gentian distillates, and a rather massive but brittle, crystalline peat smoke. Terrific distillate, not doubt. With water: pine wood smoke, green olives in brine, anchovy paste and seawater
restaurant Palate
hey hey, great arrival, on fat and farmy peat, greasy smoke, toolbox oils, camphor and raw iodine drizzled through sheep wool (yes, every day for breakfast before you ask!) and then more of these malt vinegar and gherkin vibes. The nose felt a tad light on its feel but the palate comes home like a sledgehammer. With water: more medical tinctures, lemon juice, raw oysters and more seawater. Also more of this rather fat and grizzly peat
timer Finish
long, lemony, woolly peat smoke, ashy and full of raw lemon juice and dirty Martini vibes
