Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a creamy fusion of peat and American oak coconutty notes. Also seawater, gherkins, gentian root and touches of malt vinegar and squid ink. Walks a perfect tightrope between cask influence and some pretty impeccable distillate credentials. With water: develops a very slightly farmy and more earthy profile, going inland, so to speak... More towards wood smoke and black olive now
restaurant Palate
it's the peat and the coastal power that come through loud and clear now, the wood takes a back seat and it's all things salty: salted liquorice, wet kelp, seaweed crackers, pickling brine and anchovy paste. Superb umami qualities about the whole thing, and it really does make you think of Manzanilla! Where is the nearest plate of Iberico ham...! With water: high definition, bone dry peat smoke, whelks, beach pebbles, kiln smoke and tar
timer Finish
long, with a deeper, more rugged smokiness emerging, more densely peaty and still extremely salty
