Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
another style entirely, all on these gorgeous and rather precious tropical fruits. Lots of ripe guava, mango and pineapple with further impressions of papaya, overripe banana, passion fruit and tropical fruit salad juices. Just extremely luscious, ripe and generous, with the most gentle touches of medicine and soft, thready peat smoke. A wonderful nose!
restaurant Palate
holds up well despite the ABV. Still focussed on fruits, but also with some sandalwood, mineral oils, seawater, grapefruit and dried herbs. Coastal freshness but also with some more resinous stuff like menthol and wood resins. Indeed, over time the casks do start to have more of a voice with these wee wood spice tones
timer Finish
good length, with a bigger, more oily smokiness, like puffer smoke, tarry rope, hessian, coal dust and pine wood
