Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
sea breezes and freshly laundered linen at first. Then sea salt, lemon rind, freshly rolled oats, miso broth and hints of various breads and toasted seeds. It’s a fitting bottling for a festival with this very evocative ‘Atlantic’ profile. Hints of mustard powder and cornflakes too along with green olive studded pitta breads and light hessian and bandage notes. With water: crab claws, taramasalata, olive oil, sunflower seeds, gorse and heather ale. Extremely pure, fresh and rather uncompromising with this austere quality
restaurant Palate
big, rather textural and fatty delivery. Lots of raw barley, grist, vegetable broth, white asparagus, lemon pith, raw cereals, white flowers, chalk and limestone. We’re very close to the distillate here, which is good news as the distillate is excellent - if a tad intense and punchy at full strength. With water: really works well now! Wonderfully oily, getting more mineral, citrusy, flinty and with a big, textural cereal heart
timer Finish
good length and with lots of dry, wholesome and savoury cereal notes. Lots of oatmeal, brown bread, raw barley, toasted seeds and some lightly earthy notes
