Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
sharp and briny peat. Lemon juice drizzled over concrete. Some bonfire ashes, tarpaulin, creel nets, grilled oysters - it’s rather hefty and even slightly austere. In time there’s a few glimmers of bandages and orange peel. With water: more smoky, towards smoked paprika, smouldering leaves, light tarriness and green pepper. More straightforward ashy and salty notes
restaurant Palate
sweeter, straightforward peat, black pepper, cured meats, black olives, more brininess, antiseptic and a fug of cigar smoke. Clean but rather simplistic. With water: some putty and clay notes, salt water, anchovy, hot smoky notes, beach pebbles and more antiseptic notes
timer Finish
medium in length with a wink of lusher, fruitier character about it. But it’s kind of fleeting and more of a sensation than a palpable flavour. You can also add more cured meat and salted butter
