Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold
air Nose
A different world to the OB. This is soft peat that twists along a calm seashore. Then subtle fruits work their way in: banana, papaya and kiwi before a few wee medical tinctures. Becomes increasingly tropical with time. A few notes of dried mango slices and a little bit of lychee to boot. Really pretty marvellous! Also some mineralic notes such as wet beach pebble and then ointment and gauze. Maybe some smouldering rosemary wood as well. With water: The fruits are tamed a little by dried herbs, sandalwood and pin sharp coastal swoosh
restaurant Palate
An earthy peat at first but gives way quickly to more tropical fruits, smoked tea, brine, ointment, mercurochrome, orange blossom and lemon rind. With water: some frying pancetta, a lean saline aspect and even a hint of passion fruit. Classical, pure and brilliant
timer Finish
Long and lemony with some ash, medicine, seashore complexity and a bit of lingering fruit
