Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

a slightly more fermentary version, yeasty, closer to the barley, but also more medicinal still—camphory, even a touch ‘kiln-esque’ (yes, yes) … I admit, I adore this, it smells exactly like ‘the distillery’. With water: fresh concrete, paint, brine and engine oil

restaurant Palate

there we go, it splits you cleanly in two, samurai-style (in the ways of Uma Thurman). Lime, chalk, ashes, sea water, shells, and basta cosi. With water: spot on

timer Finish

long, with just a hint more softness, with orgeat and lemony vanilla, smoked fish and fir ash
