Tasting Notes

Colour

Pale gold

air Nose

Fresh oysters covered in lemon juice, gravel, minerals, seashore, kelp, sandalwood and a lean, saline and potent peatiness rummaging away in the background. A pure and chiselled type of profile with petrol and germoline qualities sloshing about in the depths. The medical and salty aspects increase with time. Also becomes a little flinty and grassy with some fresh green herbs. With water: a little softer and more relaxed with an earthier style of peat

restaurant Palate

Caol tar soap, olive oil, raw peat, soot, green peppercorns in brine, kippers, frying pancetta and beach pebbles. With water: softer, more lavishly medicinal, more mineral, more herbal and again more earthy. Some lapsang souchong and smoked fish in the background

timer Finish

Long, ashy, lemony, peppery and pretty perfect with some meaty shellfish qualities
