Flavor Profile
Spicy & Sweet
The whisky displays the distillery's characteristic fresh, clean profile with prominent notes of fresh linens, bath salts, and beach pebbles, complemented by herbal toothpaste and lemon peel. Softer background tones of honey and caraway add complexity, while water reveals hand cream, gorse flowers, soda bread, and barley water with a subtle waxy quality.
The neat palate is sweet and full-bodied, with flavours of heather ale, camphor, and a classical waxiness alongside candied fennel seeds and sweet oak milk. Water integration brings candied lemon rinds, dried papaya, pineapple jelly beans, and sweet cough medicine notes.
The finish is rich, sweet, and satisfying, with lingering waxy textures and the residual sweetness of candied fruits and heather characteristics.
Immediately recognisable as this cult distillery's make: lots of fresh linens, bath salts, washing drying on a shoreline, beach pebbles and attractive notes of herbal toothpaste and lemon peels. In the background were some softer tones of honey and caraway. With water we found hand cream, gorse flowers, soda bread and barley water with a wee ping of waxiness. The neat palate was sweet, with heather ales, camphor and a classical fulsome waxiness – plus some lovely flavours of candied fennel seeds and sweet oak milk. Water brought candied lemon rinds, dried papaya, pineapple jelly beans and sweet cough medicines. Rich, sweet and satisfying.
