FURTIVE GHERKIN
Cask No. Distillery 149 Rare Release
sold out
A furtive nose of ferrets, cow sheds, fishing harbours, old medicine, sheep fanks, engine bits, eviscerated tractors, lemon infused oil, beach stones, hospital corridors, playing sweaty squash with a farmer using a preserved lemon. Moss, sea shells, unsweetened herbal liqueurs and hot smoked mussels. Add water to this beautiful madness and you get antiseptic cream, smoked woollen undergarments, putty, mercurochrome, pineapple jam, smoky grist cakes, wildflowers, coastal paddling and over-steeped Lapsang Souchong tea.
Quick! To the palate...! Muesli bonfires, barbecued peach stones, ham hock wrapped in burlap, algae smoothies, game meats, engine oils, mineral salts on fire, hot sand mixed with lemon balm and vapour rubs. Cask strength cough syrup! Swimming alone in a weird pond. Add some of that pond water and you get smoked mineral oils, pine resin, mint extract, lamb stock, posh 3am doner kebabs, petrichor, tar liqueur, herbal toothpaste and essence of gravel. A marvel out of time upon which to found a new religion...
