Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

far more resinous and earthy than the 12. More towards crystalised fruits, citrus fruit peel, camphor, wood resins, lapsang souchong and blood orange. Some very light barley sugar sweetness, coal tar soap, greengages and salty mead

restaurant Palate

Herbal notes, hints of meat broth, salted peanuts, olive oil, camphor, lemon rind, waxes, salty bacon frying in a pan and a little hessian. Full bodied but a striking lack of peat I find. Beautifully salty, muscular and oily distillate. Hints of gorse, coconut, chamomile, herbal liqueur and a few drops of ointment

timer Finish

long, salty, muscular, drying, the fruitiness remains resinous and vibrant while these earthy and herbal tones remain pretty lasting and intact
