Artwork by: KMG
From a parcel of very low-level casks. The liquid has remained very robust, lively and quite concentrated.
Nose: Salted corn, chalk, lime zest and flint. White grapes, apricot kernels, lemon peel, heather in bloom, Orkney Beremeal. Austere and flinty, close to the base ingredients, barley, peat and a hint of fruity fermentation.
Palate: Salted lemons, lem-sip, green wine gums, black olives. Some subdued heather smoke with Moroccan preserved lemons, dried apricots, walnuts & grist.
Finish: Salty with apple peel, and ground barley. Smoke lingers on the finish.
Non-Chill filtered and natural colour. This spirit may haze at low temperatures and under dilution.
