air Nose

o.l.i.v.e. o.i.l.! Then lemon curd plus hessian and those famous fisherman’s tarry ropes. And fresh shrimp, perhaps, kelp… And more olives. Totally a winning combo at WF Towers… With water: when old clothes come out, it’s a win. Old tweed jackets, specifically

restaurant Palate

superb, I’ll say right away and without any ambiguity that this is one of the best recent Laphroaigs I’ve tried. Perfect lemons, brine, seawater, kippers, pepper, and everything’s perfectly synchronised. Love these hints of olives with Tabasco. With water: almonds and kippers, plus pink grapefruits. Another winning combination. Swims very well

timer Finish

not the longest, but there is some elegance to it
