Tasting Notes
Salty sea spray was carried in the breeze on to fresh oysters, smoked mussels and battered haddock while heather honey was poured over caramel ice cream in a cone. A playful heat on the palate tingled alongside sweet plums and salted liquorice before burnt toast and lavender smoke joined singed croissants and toffee apples. Adding water brought us earl grey tea with milk chocolate biscuits, served on dried driftwood with toasted sesame oil, seaweed and cherry jam in a seashell. Flavours were now sweeter, as tangy marmalade and flambéed banana combined with wood fire smoke and serrano ham on oatcakes. At five years of age, we combined selected casks from the same distillery. We then returned the single malt into a variety of different casks to develop further. This is one of those casks.
