Bottle from Appellation Wines, cheers McCash. Pours still, dark red-brown with no head to speak of. Aromas are Islay whisky, elastoplast, salt and seaweed. Taste is toffee, salted caramel and seaweed. Smoky sweet finish.

75cl bottle from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - flat but brown with reddish chinks.
Nose - very Islay barrel, elastoplast and general salt and seaweed.
Taste - toffee, salted caramel and seaweed.
Palate - full bodied, salty and smoky. Dry finish.
Overall - interesting, I'd say, more than delicious. Needs time in the bottle to re-carbonate. To revisit in 6 months.
