Tasting Notes
Nose
A mild, fresh nose rich in the distillery character. Fresh, faintly maritime top notes evoke sea breeze, seaweed, warm dunes, and a hint of iodine, layered with lemon citrus and subtle tropical sweet traces of sugar cane and mango from the Caribbean rum cask finish.
Palate
An exceptionally smooth mouthfeel introduces a fruity and citrus sweet, lightly salty taste, again true to the distillery character, balanced here by an insistent yet never overpowering spiciness. A dash of water rounds softens and sweetens, bringing up the oil-smooth citrus character.
Finish
Quite short, finishing spicy and smoothly mouth cooling. A light, lingering, sweet aftertaste becomes more profound and longer if water is added.
