Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
sea salt, salt cured white fish, lemon infused olive oil, white flowers, mineral salts and some very gentle wood ashes. Modern, pure and very precise peated Bunna. With time it loosens up slightly and becomes a little oilier and fatter. With water: herbal scented smoke, crushed aspirin, sardines and some nicely grubby notes of puffer smoke and boilers
restaurant Palate
lovely arrival, all on sea salt and malt vinegar with further impressions of chip fat, metal polish, mineral salts again, tar, creel nets, wee sooty notes and charred pine wood. Bigger than the nose suggested but feels very quaffable thanks to a tidy ABV. With water: excellent salty, tarry, white pepper, seawater, grapefruit juice, TCP and again these slightly fatter and greasier notes of mechanical oils, tar and boiler smoke. Big whisky that manages to be simultaneously very quaffable
timer Finish
long, wonderfully salty, peppery, tarry, hot calamari, paprika, lemon juice and iodine
