Notes
Salty coal came covered in butter and splashed with strawberry wine. The palate was equally heavenly: sooty, with a clear salinity and joined by kelp, wild berries and millionaire's shortbread. Water offered a luxurious baconnaise, spread on burnt toast, along with peanut butter and plum jam on the nose. The palate had now become a steak sandwich with sweet onion jam, washed down with smoked peach iced tea. Enjoy the nostril-flaring minty finish. After seven years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this to a PX ex-Islay cask – previously used to mature 29.268 – for the remainder of its maturation.
