Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well, hang about! There does indeed seem to be an immediate and rather striking fruitiness about this one. It certainly feels like quite a big departure from the previous two. This one opens all on lemon peels, bandages, ointments, caraway, softer medicines, grapefruit and boiled lime sweets. It’s pretty reminiscent of the late 1980s 10 year olds such as the Cinzano and Genova import examples. Gets more coastal and develops notes of things such as squid ink, seashells and clay. A wee prickle of iodine underneath it all as well
restaurant Palate
gentle bonfire smoke, seashore freshness, lemon infused olive oil, peppered mackerel, guava, melon, dried herbs such as tarragon, sage and thyme and a slight fisherman’s welly note. There’s also stuff like salty honey, wood resin, mustard seeds, pineapple jelly and coal smoke
timer Finish
medium in length but nervously tropical, salty, coastal and full of gentle, wisping kiln air and smoky barley notes
