Nose: Sea salt, lavender, wet stones, pineapple, hint of citrus.

Tasting: Salty sour. Tangy, sweet pineapple, beefsteak tomatoes, salt caramel, malty, clay.
Finish: Medium. Salty, seaweed, nori, something sweet.

Comments:

More maritime, saltier and less fruity than the younger expression (but with the same pineappley notes). Feels more luxurious somehow, yet this isn't reflected in the price! I believe this is going to be the flagship official expression from the distillery, and they are going to discontinue the younger one.

Verdict:

I like this.
