Iodine Ice Cream

SPIRIT NOTES

An abundance of coastal aromas conjured images of kelp, mussels and eating ice cream at the end of a creosote coated pier, while notes of toasted pine nuts, walnuts and coffee beans joined charcoal and red liquorice. Flavours of burnt heather, lavender and soot mixed with maple syrup then merged with orange spices and dark chocolate. More medicinal aromas of antiseptic ointment emerged with water alongside barbecued banana, cashew nuts and dark chocolate in coal buckets. Fragrant sandalwood and fudge now mixed on the palate, with herbs and cereals that turned to earthy mushroom flavours on the finish. After spending 6 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead this was transferred to a 1st fill ex-oloroso American oak hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
