air Nose

a little shy at first but you feel the rumblings of what's coming… yup, an avalanche of exotic fruits of all shades, ripeness and style. Intensely juicy, vibrant and showing an elegant sweetness of flower honey, then wee hints of tangerine, a rather compact coastal note and fresh passion fruit. Hard to say anything other than: sixties Bowmore! I also find some mineral qualities like wet pebbles and mineral salts. Preserved lemons in brine with herbal teas and wormwood. Utterly irresistible! With water: even more fruity if you can imagine such a thing, but also wonderfully peppery and intricately spicy. More exotic liqueurs and honeys, liquorice root, verbena and a feeling of incense and pot pourri

restaurant Palate

amazing freshness, precision and power with total immediacy. But it then uncoils with purpose and drags you along for the ride. Bewilderingly fruity with fresh, dried and crystallised fruits of all variety. But the way this integrates with the most gentle and elegantly drying peat smoke, pristinely sharp and chiselled coastal salinity and then medicines, roots, wood extracts and waxes too. A majestic unfolding of beauty and complexity. With water: deadly! An encyclopaedia of fruit! Still with such power, freshness and ability to deliver these flavours with such directness and persistence. An utter glory!

timer Finish

long and glowing with exotic fruit pulps and syrups. The aftertaste riddled with medical roots and herbs and still this lattice of salted honey and crisp peat smoke
