USA Exclusive - In Celebration of the Holiday Season 2020

Please limit one (1) bottle per member

Sweet and oily aromas brought us walnuts in bacon fat and parsnips with sweet potatoes burnt in coconut oil. A strong maritime character fused lobster claws and brine with anchovies, iodine and smoked mackerel fillets. On the palate it was as clean as a ship's whistle with smoked cereals, herbs and soy sauce on barbecued pineapple. Chimney soot and wood ash mixed with maple syrup and burnt pine nuts on a bed of wet seaweed. With water came walnuts and Brazil nuts along with darker medicinal undertones like antiseptic toothpaste on woodland moss. Thick engine grease and heavy smoke coated the tongue with moments of vapour rub, cough sweets and thick tar in coal scuttles.
