JELLY-FISH ON THE ROCKS

Bottled at 56.3% from a single refill Ex-Bourbon hogshead after 20 years. 

Panel's Tasting Note: "The nose of this ‘Sound of Islay’ dram offered fish boxes, lobster pots and tarry driftwood, beach bonfires and peat smoke – we also found heather, iodine, hospitals, roasted peanuts, nutmeg, cinnamon and lemon oil. The palate was a classic intense mix of sweetness and smoke – some tar, clean oil, macadamia nuts, smoked paprika and prawn tempura, with a long, liquoricy after-taste. The reduced nose introduced a powerful floral note (Little Shop of Horrors?) and a mineral element (our scientist-turned-blender remembered drying jelly-fish on rocks). The palate now held smoky bacon crisps, acid drops, ash, charcoal and lime squeezed over scallops."

Drinking Tip: "After enjoying seafood or whenever intense flavours are required."
