Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

typically crystalline, clean peat. Chalk, seashore, brine, lemon juice antiseptic. Very ‘millimetric’ as Serge would say. Some nice ashy smokiness in the background. With water: beach pebbles, chalk, sandalwood, seaweed crackers and with a lovely, fresh coastal quality

restaurant Palate

despite the relatively high strength this has a pretty approachable profile. Rather lemony, oily, ashy, kippery and with lots of kiln smoke and mineral salinity. With water: develops towards yeasty sourdough and salty, bready qualities. Very briny and medical now. Pin sharp peaty notes

timer Finish

long, ashy, smoky, very salty and with quite a bit of sharp lemon juice
