Nose
Very fresh citrus initially — followed by juniper, hints of savoury saltiness from the seaweed, clean volcanic mineral quality
Palate
Fresh citrus and classic juniper — sharp warm cassia and ginger spices, mellowed by buckwheat's gentle nuttiness, kombu seaweed adding umami depth, sea buckthorn providing tart brightness
Finish
Peppery spices from tail pepper — long-lasting, the volcanic water's mineral quality evident, savoury and complex
Expert Review
7/10Created a stone's throw from the Giant's Causeway — water drawn from a 600-foot borehole through basalt volcanic rock, filtered by 60 million years of geology. Local kombu royale seaweed and sea buckthorn berries alongside cassia, ginger, and the rare tail pepper.
