Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with ruby-red highlights.
Nose
Rhubarb and custard rise first, then stewed red fruits with blackberry and ginger. Notes of strawberry and cream boiled sweets mingle with barley sugar, delivering a playful, candy-kissed sweetness that hints at depth to come.
Palate
Barley water sweetness mingles with summer berries and red apples, brightened by warming peat embers. A savory thread of goat’s cheese and black tea underpins the palate, finishing with coastal smoke and a dry, refined nuance.
Finish
A fairly dry finish lingers with coastal brine and billowing peat, leaving a smoky, maritime echo with subtle mineral notes.
