Tasting Notes
The smell of a grilled meat loveras pizza made us all very hungry. The toppings we found were pepperoni slices, smoked bacon lardons and spicy salami next to onions and artichokes. The side dish was seaweed salad and scallops, sweet and briny with a splash of olive oil and garnished with smoked sesame seeds. After reduction, the sweetness as well as the maritime characters come to the fore as we sat on a seafront promenade and enjoyed a smoky cranachan alongside a smoky bloody mary made using chipotles and garnished with cooked bacon, pickled okra and olives. Following five years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a second fill PX hogshead.
