Strong defined notes of dried bay leaf, seaweed, cabbage, starch, & dry stone. Bone dry herbal aromas point to a maritime local in Islay. 2nd whiff shows sandy beach, limestone, hemp rope, textile fiber, shellfish. Entry is piquant, nutty, w/tastes of dill, brine, pickles, almond paste, sea salt, palate cleansing acidity w/salinity. A wonderful display of melded flavors.
