Tasting Notes

Nose

Very fresh citrus initially — followed by juniper, hints of savoury saltiness from the seaweed, clean volcanic mineral quality

Palate

Fresh citrus and classic juniper — sharp warm cassia and ginger spices, mellowed by buckwheat's gentle nuttiness, kombu seaweed adding umami depth, sea buckthorn providing tart brightness

Finish

Peppery spices from tail pepper — long-lasting, the volcanic water's mineral quality evident, savoury and complex

Expert Review

7/10

Created a stone's throw from the Giant's Causeway — water drawn from a 600-foot borehole through basalt volcanic rock, filtered by 60 million years of geology. Local kombu royale seaweed and sea buckthorn berries alongside cassia, ginger, and the rare tail pepper.
