Tasting Notes
"The nose is very beachy, with aromas of seaweed and brine mixing with burning herbs such as sage, thyme, and tarragon. The palate of this light to medium-bodied whisky veers more toward savory than sweet — salty, briny, herbal — almost like a liquid version of an herbed cracker topped with sea salt. It gets a tad sweeter with further sips, with tangy apricot, pear, golden apple, and a tinge of honey. The smoke element is akin to a freshly lit coal BBQ pit on a beach, with a hint of rubber tires mixed in. The finish ends in with a lasting smoky-sweet-salty vibe, and a touch of heat. "
