Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
bright straw
air Nose
we're back to ashes, minerals, chalk and this rather nice impression of fruity bath salts. Also dried seaweed, umami seasonings, MSG powder and heather flowers. Simultaneously rather saline and powerfully coastal, but also nicely aromatic and showing a fair bit of complexity. With water: lemon juice, pink grapefruit, green olive, seawater and capers with some crushed parsley
restaurant Palate
lovely arrival! All on smoked honeys, sweet, lightly tarry and peppery peat smoke, herbal teas, preserved lemons, pickled gherkin and soft medicinal embrocations. It's both a lighter style Caol Ila, and one that displays a little more charisma than just ash and seawater. With water: lovely texture that feels like sipping smoked olive oil mixed with fresh lemon juice. You can also add ink, TCP, smoked mint, eucalyptus oils and a wee note of hessian
timer Finish
long, nicely salty, again on lemon juice, pickled green things (olives, capers etc) and mineral salts
