From Elgin with love
It opens with juicy fruits, aromatic herbs and pine cones with notes of fir liqueur, polished hardwood, old lathe shavings, vanilla pods and lemon drizzle icing. A background fragrance of wax emerges with time, alongside a whiff of old Sauternes. Water brings forth trodden ferns and bracken, red apple peelings, pear eau de vie, lemon oil, warm grist and dry vintage cider. The mouth begins with white chocolate, mint choc ice cream, blue raspberry lollies, menthol tobacco, hawthorne, rosehip tea, cough syrups and pistachio nuts. With reduction comes tea tree oil, pressed wildflowers, fruit salad sweeties, a light chalkiness and lime zest.
Exquisitely playful
The nose takes you to a Hebridean beach – dying bonfire, wisps of wood ember smoke and ash; the machair behind – then slowly, toffee, vanilla slice and almond croissant sweetness emerges. The smoke is sweet, spicy and exquisitely playful in the mouth – aniseed Liquorice Allsorts, sugar-coated fennel seeds and humbugs, with gentle clove, nutmeg and menthol numbing. With water, the nose discovers hospital corridors and first-aid kits, vapour rub, lemon zest, tarragon and thyme – very clean, subtle smoke. The palate becomes sweeter and softer – Fisherman’s Friends, blackcurrant Tunes, burnt twigs and grilled prawn shells, with an effervescent, sherbet lemon finish – fantastically moreish.
