Nose:A nice, tart lemony note with apples and a hint of physalis. A really fresh onset, mellowed by light vanilla. Then it develops lots of tiny complexities that are often a little less common. Think polished brassware, liquorice, ginger and bitter almond. A subtle iodine tingle as well.
Palate:Quite a robust mouthfeel given the moderate ABV. Sweet malt mixed with a firm grassy note, herbal bitterness and lemon peels. Gingery warmth alongside toffee sweetness. Cider apples, a hint of white rum and oak char. Getting tangy towards the end, a coastal malt alright! Then a touch of salted caramel as it fades.
Finish:Medium length, with oak spice, honey sweetness and salty liquorice.
