Tasting Notes
The Panel were surprised at just how much we all enjoyed this one from the off. The neat nose was superbly clear, bright and focused around citrus fruits, lemon jelly, sweet malt extract and wee inflections of coastal flowers, sea greens and gorse flower. It had a superb sense of juiciness and poise. Water enhanced the floral notes and brought more honeys, pollens and also a sense of petrichor and potting-shed earthiness. The palate was full of pineapple sweetness, juicy fruit chewing gum, boiled fruit sweets and crystallised tropical fruits. Reduction brought a drier but still very tropical fruit profile, along with guava, melon drizzled with golden syrup and a big slug of honey liqueur. Gorgeous!
