Tasting Notes
Serene, sublime, solitude, sunset, seaside and, yes, we almost forgot to mention sweet smouldering smoke. To describe the taste would almost be as unfruitful as the many photos taken of sunsets! We got sweet smoked langoustines with burnt salted caramel, or cold-smoked tuna cured with a blush of salt-and-sugar brine finished in lightly flavoured wood smoke. If you so wish, add a drop of water and you will be rewarded with aromas including smoked parma ham and smoked sardines in extra virgin olive oil. To finish, a quote from Sir Bernard Williams: "It is almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream." Following seven years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead.
