Nose: Sea salt, seaweed, stewed green apple and heather honey with a slight rhubarb tang. Behind this can be found pleasing and mellow notes of vanilla, crusty pastry, hazelnut, dried orange peel, hints of ginger, lemongrass, and intermingling through it all are phenolic, tarry peat embers.
Palate: Carbolic soap intertwined with salt encrusted seaweed, smouldering campfires, blackcurrant, hints of stone fruit, thyme, liquorice root, aniseed and herbal thyme.
Finish: Sweet and powerful, with savoury notes leading to iodine and oily mackerel complexity.

Sea salt, seaweed and tarry peat embers give this a clear coastal pull, with green apple and heather honey alongside. That mix sounds right up my alley.

Seaweed and tarry peat make a savoury, smoky contrast.
