Maritime meandering

Islay

US Exclusive curated by Neil Patrick Harris

Delicate maritime smoke drifted from a tug boat in the harbour and over flowers in the sand dunes while sweet aromas of marzipan, honey-roasted parsnips and lavender combined. On the palate, tart cherries, burnt berries and seabuckthorn joined pickled ginger and crispy salmon skin beside sweet coffee and lapsang souchon tea. Water added burnt rosemary, salted liquorice and roasted chestnuts to the maritime scene that now introduced dried seaweed, brine and driftwood. Flavours claimed the soot and ash of a beach bonfire while chocolate and lemon curd merged with root beer, liquorice-flavoured cough mixture and a hint of peppermint.
