Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

starts more buttery than the official 18, fatter, with more vanilla and a mixture of quinces and citrons. Then it’s more camphor and antiseptic, oysters, seaweed, brine, hessian and all that. Coastal? You bet

restaurant Palate

perfect. I mean, it’s a bit early to have the perfect ones within the flight but 1. They may well all be perfect and 2. I do not control this sort of thing. Great minerality, sharpy lemons, green tea, smoke, kippers… And a pretty fat mouth feel, which works very well here

timer Finish

long and more bitter, which is always welcome in my book. Lemon skin. Peppery spices in the aftertaste
