Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Light gold with warm straw tones; natural color
Nose
Distinctive bere barley character — earthy, nutty, herbaceous, honey, fresh bread, gentle citrus. The ancient grain variety creates a completely different aromatic profile from modern malting barley. Floral and mineral notes
Palate
Unique bere barley malt profile — nutty, earthy, fresh bread, honeycomb, gentle spice, lemon, green apple. Less sweet than modern barley, more savoury and mineral. Coastal Islay character adds maritime salt and freshness
Finish
Medium finish with lingering bere barley earthiness, honey, and mineral character. A taste of ancient terroir — what Scottish whisky may have tasted like centuries ago
