Tasting Notes

Nose

Herbal anise and juniper — Douglas fir's forest freshness, citrus brightness, the seven distillates creating remarkable aromatic complexity

Palate

Sweet sap and citrus — birch sap adding gentle sweetness, dillisk seaweed providing maritime minerals, yarrow's bitter herbal character, Douglas fir's resinous freshness, pink grapefruit cutting through, the six-week blending producing seamless integration

Finish

Bittersweet with pleasing minerality — the dillisk seaweed's maritime quality persisting, juniper dryness, the 618 steps rewarded in every sip

Expert Review

8/10

Named for the 618 steps from the bottom of Skellig Michael to the beehive huts at the top. Seven separate distillates blended slowly over six weeks. Botanicals chosen with renowned Irish chef Ross Lewis: Douglas fir needles, birch sap, foraged yarrow, and dillisk seaweed from Kerry's coast.
