ROCK POOLING AND BEACH BARBECUE

An 18 year old Islay malt from a refill barrel at 58.6%

FLAVOUR PROFILE:  Heavily peated

Outturn:  160 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "It is a warm sunny afternoon on the beach and we are rock pooling, exploring diverse marine life; starfish, anemones, crabs, limpets, small fish and seaweed – exposing a possible meal every low tide. Talking of a meal there are also aromas of lamb chops sizzling on a barbecue with a hint of rosemary and the freshness of mint sauce. The taste is ashy to start, oak smoked mackerel, cold smoked salmon and the sweetness of honey glazed ham. With water turning into sweet cured herring with a dill sauce and gravlax with a honey mustard marinade. The taste is now hickory sweet smoked fish, beer battered calamari and roasted marshmallows over an open fire – hungry yet?"

Drinking tip:  "Take a hint from the title"
