Nose
Burnt bacon, porridge, wet dog and damp hay sit with boiled vegetables, raw moist peat and marmite spread over toast. Olive brine provides salinity and reinforces a savoury affair. With water, ozone and petrichor alongside putty and apple slices emerge.
Palate
Pretty bombastic. Medicinal peat smoke with floor cleaner and antiseptic joins lemon zest, rocky cliffs, brine and chimney smoke. Light chilli pepper provides a bite whilst toasted barley tempers. Water moves things into a more fruit-focused place with apples (primarily) and pears together with mandarin peels, coal dust and cold cream.
Finish
Quite long with sustained peat smoke, sharp medicinalness and a citric twist. Character and power abound with this full-throttle Sponge Ardnamuchan.
