Tasting Notes

NOSE: A rich medley of coastal and earthy aromas greets you first—seaweed, damp oak, and a touch of brine. This is balanced by sweeter notes of citrus zest, dried apricots, and a hint of caramelized sugar. As it opens, subtle smoky undertones emerge alongside a waft of herbal freshness, reminiscent of thyme and sage.
TASTE: The palate is bold and dynamic, with an initial wave of creamy maltiness and tangy citrus—lemon curd and orange peel. This is followed by layers of toasted oak, cracked black pepper, and sea salt. Sweetness builds with hints of honeycomb, toffee, and a delicate fruitiness, such as baked apples and stewed plums.
FINISH: The finish is long and satisfying, with a warming spice that lingers. Subtle smoky peat mingles with dry, earthy notes and a touch of salted caramel, leaving a slightly savory, maritime impression that invites another sip.
