Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden amber with sunlit honey hues and subtle copper glints.
Nose
Earthy malt rises with a coastal brine, a maritime aroma of sea air clinging to grain. Subtle mineral salt and a whisper of citrus zest brighten the profile, hinting at the Virgin oak and the sea's influence on the barley.
Palate
Well-rounded mouthfeel with citrus brightness, layered with clove, salted caramel and pepper, finished by ginger biscuit notes that hint at maritime air.
Finish
A long, oily finish that lingers with salted popcorn and delicate floral hints from the French oak.
