Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale straw gold with a delicate sunlit glow and a whisper of amber at the rim.
Nose
Sea-salted air and coastal brine mingle with fresh-cut grass and herbaceous notes. Subtle peat smoke threads through iodine and mineral brightness, while a whisper of sherry warmth hints at dried fruit from the refill butts. A brisk maritime aroma with green, saline vitality and a refined, coastal backbone.
Palate
Salty, coastal and briny on the palate, it carries a brisk sea-spray core with mineral undercurrents. Peat smoke threads through fresh-cut grass and herbal notes, leaving a crisp, lingering maritime finish.
Finish
Salt-kissed and briny, the finish unfurls with coastal peat smoke, herbal notes and a hint of fresh-cut grass. Subtle sherry warmth lingers, fading to mineral sea-spray dryness that leaves a clean, lasting echo.
