sandalwood and ice-wine grapes to the nose and sherbet lemon
hints of orange peel and grapefruit on the finish
On the palate we reached the top
teryaki beef and blackcurrant
mineralic sherry - almost brittle in its purity - leaps at you from the glass
Cask No. 4.309 SCS sandalwood and ice-wine grapes toA green and refreshing initial nose that included samphire frying in salty butter, wet fabrics, citrus washing powders, bath and mineral salts, beach pebbles and nourishing heather ales. A more gentle expression of this famous Orcadian make, but no less evocative of its origins. Water brought limestone, wax jackets, fresh breads and aromatic herbs. The palate was crisp with heather smoke, lime juice, smoke olive oil and delicate threads of peat smoke.
