Salt strewn on smoky marmalade

Islay

In celebration of Feis Ile 2019! Please limit one bottle per member.

Sweet and floral aromas brought us to violet liqueur with burnt heather honey drizzled over roast pork. Smoky marmalade delivered a fruity expression that integrated with toffee apples on a barbeque. A maritime mood hinted at lobster meat, mussels and smoked oysters with the thick texture of rapeseed oil. The palate carried a sweet demeanour that flirted with smoked fudge and caramelised pears dusted with sea salt. A touch of green apple rolled in charcoal introduced burnt barley with smouldering damp hay. Finally, crispy seaweed coated with demerara sugar on the finish that concluded with a nutty and sweet balance.
