On the nose it reminds you of tobacco leaves and fish drying on wooden racks by the shore. Imagine Germolene antiseptic, First Aid boxes and soap in a coal scuttle. In a fisherman’s boot you find salt and smoke. If you’re hungry- seafood platters, dark honey, bacon and rye bread with caraway, sausage with fennel. To taste - sea shells on a salty jetty; treacle and spicy liquorice, Tabasco and Scotch Bonnet peppers; toasted caraway and sesame seeds drizzled with honey. Tantalising seafood cocktail and oily mackerel. Tempted by deep-fried Mars Bars? Cooked in the same oil as the fish? Imagine This! Initial distillation 2001.
