Nose
Tropical fruits and TCP (sounds like the name of an indie band). Cut pineapple, lime, plasters and sea shells. Toasted marshmallows on the beach. Fun!
Palate
Chantilly cream, charred lime pith, toffee sweets, apricots and Royal Gala apples. Burnt firewood washes up in the briny sea while you’re sipping a dry-hopped beer.
Finish
Charcoal, vanilla, sea shells and cooked bananas.
Comment
Sweet, salty and smoky. Ticking all those Islay boxes.
