Appears Pinot Grigio like, a pale golden hue. But no wine by the sea, instead a dram packed with sweet, smoky and coastal seafaring memories. A mild nose-feel, fresh as a sea breeze, a bounty of maritime aromas, crystal salt, rock pools, iodine, seaweed brine and drawn butter. Mouth watering! A drop of the sea brings forward a sweet smoke, kettle corn by the shores, the waves tossing up salty sparks into the air. The palate sings in harmony with fresh sweet popped corn and gooey fudge, salty butter and earthy roasted coffee. Coal smoke bags linger in the distance, to top off the sweet and salty trail mix of flavours. A dash of water increases the saltiness, reduces the smokiness, yet introduces a warming spiced finish. A holiday by the sea in a glass!
