Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber copper
air Nose
There's quite a medicinal aspect to start with, abundant in juniper and coriander seeds, almost reminiscent of oak-aged gin, before hints of orange peel and sea water at low tide (really) give a leg up to a rather oily peat that remains elegant and coastal, nonetheless. Eventually, there's a lot of dried seaweed but very little blackcurrant, raspberry, or strawberry, thankfully!
restaurant Palate
The taste is much more uncertain, as if the previous contents of the barrel hadn't been enough to obliterate all the winey notes. So, we end up with a fair bit of blackcurrant, leather, tomato leaf, bay leaf, or rubber, but luckily, the distillate manages to get itself out of trouble, thanks to its distinctly salty and even fishy notes. Alas, very few exotic fruits make it through in this affair, with bay leaf and juniper remaining very prominent
timer Finish
long, salty, spicy, quite rubbery, with green pepper and cherry stems at the end
