Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
honeyed sweetness alongside herbal cough lozenges, coastal air and very gentle threads of peat smoke. Beautifully aromatic and intricately herbal, further soft medicinal notes and things like wintergreen and tiger balm. Bags of distillery character and totally enchanting. With water: gets sharper and displays more tension, tiny touches of acetic balsamic, mineral salts, leather, many more subtle medicinal vibes and damp hessian cloth. Indeed, with time it seems to just become more 'dunnagey'
restaurant Palate
oily in texture upon arrival and full on resinous herbal peat, salted honey, aged mead, herbal cough medicines once again and things like fir wood resins, camphor, wee briny aspects and mineral oils. Outstanding! With water: perfect now! Wonderfully oily and resinous in texture, soft oily peat smoke, camphor, hessian, natural tar, herbal medicines and wee sooty touches
timer Finish
long, showing great balance between salinity and oiliness, more herbs, soot, camphor, pickling brine and medicines
