Tasting Notes

Aromas suggested a filthy rebellion that supported tar, creosote and engine grease on an old fishing trawler with cured salmon, candyfloss and burnt caramel. The palate followed the crowd with black axle grease coating burnt raisins, liquorice and navy rum on a bed of chimney soot. Water enhanced the tar with a sweet nuttiness and caramel brittle, while perfumed pipe tobacco merged with smouldering bonfires and molasses. Thick plumes of black smoke now engulfed the palate, covering tar-covered ship's ropes, lobster nets and smoked mackerel beside burnt orange skin and smoky bacon dipped in dark chocolate.
