Nose
Very pure, singular, focused on maritime and coastal expressiveness, seaweed, bright citrus notes, with a tiny glimmer of something more exotic underneath that. With water: much smokier and ashier, on cigar ash, rolled cigarettes and hints of capers in brine.
Palate
Same raw purity that displays the distillate front and centre. There's even almost some newmake elements on display, but in a good way. Impressions of old malt bins, kiln smoke, paraffin, ink, beach pebbles and white flowers etc. The purity is hard to argue with when the distillate is this impeccable.
Finish
Superbly long, salty, tarry and immensely peaty! With water: long, salty, drying, briny, mineral and taut.
