Tasting Notes

We found this one to be much lighter initially than weve come to expect from this distillery. Very crisp and cereal driven with some ethereal fruitiness - vitamin tablets fizzing in mineral water, mango peel and lemon ironing water. Also lots of starched linens, turmeric earthiness and things like lanolin, lemon pith and wee hints of pickled ginger. With water it became more herbal with dried sage, sorrel and some fragrant sandalwood. Wonderfully savoury with sunflower oil, aniseed and sun lotion. The palate was initially sweeter than the nose suggested. Lemon barley water, mineral oils, cinnamon biscuits, some toasted fennel seed, rosehip tea and dried wildflowers. Water brought out olive oil, sooty notes, malt beer, heather flowers, hessian and waxier notes of camphor and wood polish. Very satisfying!
