Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
very close to the raw distillate now, really on petrol, puffer smoke, seawater, freshly kilned malt and wet linens. In time a building medicinal profile full of iodine and TCP. With water: a slightly broader smokiness which adds some complexity, more feelings of pure kiln air, umami seasonings and beach sand
restaurant Palate
very pure, sharp, chiselled and centred around seawater, pickling brine, lemon juice and wood ashes. Lots of beach stuff too, such as crushed seashells, rock pool vibes and wet seaweed. With water: cider apple, more briny things, still hugely salty, some traces of fennel seed and smoked olive oil. Superb!
timer Finish
long, sharp, full of mineral salts, lemon juice, olive brine and a tar-flecked smokiness
