Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
very pale white wine
air Nose
Mark Watt has some interesting things to say about getting aromas as colours when nosing whisky. It's something I also find myself on occasion and indeed, this one has a distinctly 'green' coastal vibe of capers in brine, wet seaweed, seawater and things like parsley, grass and petrol. With water: cornichons, more brine, preserved lemon and freshly chucked oysters
restaurant Palate
very salty, almost like plunging mouth first into a Margherita with these notes of agave and particularly mezcal. Also lemon juice, wool, pickling brine, more seawater and green olives. With water: a slightly metallic edge to the smokiness, still razor sharp, immensely saline and increasingly mineral
timer Finish
long, on malt vinegar, mercurochrome and seawater
