Tasting Notes
The whisky presents an enticing aroma of grilled scampi with smoky shells, burnt lime, roasted garlic, and smoky lime mayonnaise. After reduction, toasted coconut and caramelised shallots emerge on the nose.
The palate delivers savoury notes reminiscent of bacalhau à Brás—salted cod, eggs, pan-fried potatoes, and black olives—followed by sweet smoked salmon jerky with a hint of Szechuan pepper and a nutty sweetness.
The finish is characterised by lingering sweet and nutty qualities with subtle smoky undertones that complement the savoury and spiced elements encountered on the palate.
