Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

typical, with some chalk, mud, paraffin and porridge, even whiffs of new plastics (we'll find another descriptor once plastic's been totally eradicated). The muddy side never stops growing then, with also whiffs of dunnage, humus, mosses, rainwater, Brussels sprouts, sea salt…

restaurant Palate

fruitier for sure, rather in the style of the 10 that I love so much, although this (not so) indie version would be a little gentler, easier, with grapefruits and apples, mead, dough, linseed oil… and indeed the trademark paraffin. 46% vol. always works

timer Finish

medium, a tad grittier perhaps, always with some paraffin and mineral oils (not the ones we would tend to drink). A little limoncello in the aftertaste – did you ever spot all those lemon trees in Campbeltown?
