Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes

Amber
air Nose
It’s a gentle and very coastal and salty one. I remember a paler bottling that was far more classically tropical and fruity. This one is more nervous and resinously peaty with, wood ash, seashore, dried seaweed, minerals, smoked sea salt, iodine and various camphor, hessian and dunnage notes. Various medical tinctures, mercurochrome and TCP. Globally it’s very gentle and elegant though. Some burnt toffee, a few wet leaves and a little olive oil. Some tar liqueur and ripe orange zest with a few more delicate notes of coal smoke, fermenting hay and sheep fank. Delicacy is the name of the game here
restaurant Palate
The power goes up a notch here. An oily, uber dry and emphatic peatiness envelops the palate. A big farmyard fug also arrives. The seashore aspects are pushed to the background and the medicinal qualities come across as thick and drying. Black olives, rosemary, umami paste, a little blood orange as well
timer Finish
Some preserved lemons, medicine, soot, ash. Not the longest finish sadly
