A BALLERINA AT THE BARBECUE

This 17 year old from Islay is 49.2% and is from a refill hogshead

Flavour profile:  Lightly peated

Outturn:  261 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "Our ballerina sits on damp decking tending to her weary toes with TCP antiseptic and lint bandage from an antiquated first aid box. A Bloody Mary revives her flagging spirit as she lights a fire pit to start cooking white fish wrapped in bacon and spritzed with lime juice. She snacks on popcorn with sea salt and cracked black pepper and cucumber sandwiches from warm Tupperware. A sprinkle of rain can’t dampen the ash, hints of oil pastel and linseed develop. The shellfish is drizzled with coriander and olive oil and grilled with halloumi and green peppers. Dainty and delicious!"

Drinking tip:  "The perfect accompaniment to a seafood barbecue"
