Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
one might easily conjure up visions of burnt petrol, scorching tyres, and brake dust... But, indeed, while there's a touch of carbon and graphite, it's predominantly the sea water and peat smoke, interlaced with nuts and raisins, that hold sway. With water: a surge of salinity, shellfish, a bit of bacon, kippers, and indeed some tar/tarmac come through
restaurant Palate
rich and fresh at the same time, with very pleasant notes of chartreuse, wormwood, liquorice, candied citron, and oysters... It's much more elegant than expected, and less 'carbonised'. With water: excellent, more lemony, sharp, and decidedly maritime. It likely pairs better with oysters than its counterparts from Islay's South shore
timer Finish
long, very fresh, this time with a focus on mandarins among the citrus fruits
