Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

more medicinal than you’d think, smokier than you’d think, and more coastal than you’d think. Band-aid, beach bonfire, iodine, then white bread, leaven, grapefruits, and seawater. It is relatively lighter than its bros from the south shore of Islay, but in no way ‘light’

restaurant Palate

keyword, balance. Lime, smoke, bitter marzipan, cigarette ashes, whelks (I’m sorry, whelks – hold on…), leaves, bitter grass, apple peelings… If this is light whisky, I’m Taylor Swift

timer Finish

not short, a little acrid, very smoky, salty, ashy… There’s this feeling of ‘eating an ashtray’ that doesn’t go too well with the concept of lightness. Does it?
