Tasting Notes

  • Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

    • Nose

      Sherbet lemons, crashing waves, rock pools and gravelly smoke. The smoke develops, revealing smouldering oak, singed caramel and a touch of creosote. A briny core is balanced by spiced toffee and candied lemon peel.

    • Palate

      Rich and thickly textured – smoky toffee, leafy bonfires and a touch of mint chocolate. Lime notes build through the middle, with cinnamon heat and more chocolate. Creosoted fences and damp earth notes appear, followed by a splash of sea spray and a box of freshly opened bandages

    • Finish

      Aromatic resin, stained wood and creosote. Sweet lime and gravelly smoke roll in and slowly fade to reveal lime fruit gums.
