Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
extremely rough and rustic, spirity, acetone-y and close to the rawest vodka, but rather bizarrely, I think this works a treat. Whisky as if Man had had no say in its making. With water: totally on chalk, porridge, wool, sourdough and grist. No heather and no 'seashore' that I can find at this point, but I'm sure that'll pop out on the palate
restaurant Palate
sweet Vishnu, this is a big rock and roller, extremely grassy, rugous, aggressive, you would almost believe someone distilled stadium grass. Which, I suppose, they usually do every week in Glasgow (I'm afraid they'll never let me in again). With water: perfect tight lemons, grapeseed oil, grass, green tea, a touch of rubber, and then indeed, oysters. Oysters do suggest 'the seashore', do they not
timer Finish
long, perfect. Lime grass dough and brine. Sends shivers down your spine
