Nose

Wood smoke and brine, Kalamata olive and baked salt fish with lemon. Some very gentle green notes, celery and parsley. Under it all, dehydrated pineapple, elderflower cordial and a slight medicinal edge.

Palate

Light and fresh on the palate. Gentle iodine, with pear drop and a little pine. A hint of Fisherman’s Friend and bass notes of poached pear.

Finish

The mid-palate fades quickly, but the wood smoke and medicinal notes linger.

Comment

An easy-going Islay sipper.
