Elements of Islay, CL12

Tasting Notes

On the nose classically maritime. Slate tiles, saltwater, warm tarmac on a sunny day. Sour apple sweets, Pouilly-Fumé wine, aguardiente, rhubarb and custard. On the palate astringent smoke with salt and liquorice. More orchard fruits, alongside green grass and citrus zest. Lots of cigarette notes, cold smoked meats, chervil and tarragon. Peaty finish with cloudy lemonade, coal dust, fresh herbs and grapefruit peel.
