Nose
Like tearing open a tin of smoked mussels. Hessian sacks soaked in seawater and left out on the jetty in the rain. A touch shy for a few minutes, then opening nicely – an interesting combination of coastal, vegetal and bakery. Very light heathery smoke and salty sea air comes together with mosses, lichen, and boiled vegetables. Sweetness is derived via rolled puff pastry and a smattering of oven-baked, honey-coated buns. Water adds doughnuts, a greater prevalence of salt and further interesting savoury motes.
Palate
Salty edamame beans, citrus salty crystals. The whisky just crackles and pops in your mouth with a salty lemon tang. A much bolder arrival than the nose would suggest – packed full of salinity, rockpools, and grapefruit sharpness. Rolling in from the sea is further salinity (salted caramel) and light tar. In the mid palate, the savouriness detected on the nose is given more shape – seafood – a full Fruits de Mer. In the background, earthiness – wet soils and forest mosses.
Finish
A long salty woody tang. Like sucking for just a second too long on some wooden chopsticks after you’ve had a takeaway Chinese meal with just a little too much MSG. Medium, salty/briney and still a touch vegetal/savoury.
