Cask No. 93.224 Oily & coastal

DOON AROON THE TOON

$134.99

First nosing revealed superb freshness, with the Panel noting vitamin tablets fizzing in soda water, beach pebbles and then minty and salty aromas that further underscored the freshness. Some impressions of pasta water and harbour jetty maintained these recurring ideas of coastal character. With water it became more aromatically broad and generous, with gorse flower (coconut, vanilla), sandalwood, maritime air, lemongrass and preserved lemons drizzled with olive oil.

Neat, the palate was similarly bright, fresh and coastal, with white flowers, starched linens, big grassy olive oil vibes and background impressions of farmhouse cider and sheep's wool. Reduction brought out lemon oil, menthol and camphor balm, wax, and playful notes of cloudy lemonade and shellfish broth.
