Nose

Orange boiled sweets. Burnt scones with butter from the oven. Oatcakes, with honey and lemon curd, before a wet dog walks in from the rain.

Palate

Distinct prickly chilli and pepper spice, honey sweetness and lime and lemon peel. Becomes drier, cereal-like – biscuits and oatcakes. Sea salt, sea air and cut grass bring freshness, while creosote brings smoke.

Finish

Relatively dry, with a subtle yet persistent barley core.

Comment

Cereal, subtle smoke and sweetness… an island dram ticking all boxes.
