Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale gold with natural color; medium legs, non-chill filtered
Nose
Like Irish barley fields — bright and earthy with dewy notes of straw and clay. Bright citrus with saltwater taffy sweetness. Agricultural and pastoral
Palate
Immediately big and sweet with green, grassy notes dominating. The gravel soil terroir of Rathclogh delivers the most overtly agricultural profile in the SFO range — you can taste the field. Barley-forward with mineral depth
Finish
Medium finish with green, grassy fade and mineral persistence. The most terroir-expressive of the original Edition 1.1 releases — the gravel soil signature is unmistakable
