Gotta say, this one kinda unfolds like a walk along a wild coastline. First hit is this salty, almost preserved lemon thing, followed by a damp, earthy note – like old sackcloth or straw in a slightly musty cow shed. There's definitely minerals there, like wet sand or beach pebbles after a tide. Then it starts playing with you. A whole avalanche of tropical fruit pops in – pineapple, guava, banana – but it's kept in check by this beautiful, threatened fragility. Honestly, it makes me think of some ancient workshop, maybe sandalwood tools and resins, with tiny, delicate medical tinctures on a shelf. A coastal breeziness keeps it all lifted, like standing on a different kind of seashore. The finish is long, with this luscious almond oil quality and a whisper of coal hearths. It's quite emotional, really, bringing up these flashes of an old sea front or Campbeltown in the 60s. Just sits there, beautifully. 🌊
