Nose: A big hit of coastal peat, tarry rope, tobacco, lime zest, candied fruit, white pepper and sea spray.
Palate: Quite tumultuous with hints of all sorts: capers, starfruit, seaweed, vanilla, honey, citrus, green wood, perhaps some heather? Evocative stuff.
Finish: Brine, citrus, dying smoke.
Overall: We’re no longer so much on the coast of the Scottish islands, but out to sea in the crashing waves (like that tube), with just a few reminders of our points of departure and arrival.
