Tasting Notes
The nose when neat was highly mineral at first, with lots of sharp salinity, crisp smokiness and dry medicinal tones. The Panel noted such things as beach bonfire aromas and clams frying in garlic butter. With water there were some greasy engine notes, along with swimming pools, lemon barley water and shellfish – all things we felt were typical of this distillery. The palate was a little peatier than the nose indicated, with more beach bonfire vibes, brittle smokiness, seawater and pickling juices. Reduction brought out a subtle sweetness, along with a gust of sea air, salt and vinegar crisps, and a tang of grapefruit sharpness.
