Tasting Notes
"Slightly lactic but mostly farm-yardy with some fruity and mineral touches. Notes of bung cloth, compost, lemon and hay follow. There's a whisper of roasted almonds, pears and coastal notes too. The palate displays hints of charcoal and minerals with sweet fruits like peach and apricots, but also lychees. It certainly shows a higher level of complexity than the excellent Kilkerran 12 Year. Touches of earthy peat and a nice salinity as well. A fantastic offering."
