Cask No. 16.43      

Oddly satisfying

Highland, Southern

Imagine a cold evening on the beach, starting a fire with planks from an old shoreline shipwreck and barbequing honey, mustard and pineapple gammon steaks. The wind picks up and crushing waves hit the rugged coastline as a hipflask is handed round containing a smoky rusty nail cocktail to warm us from inside. Diluted we threw sardines and sage sausages on to the grill and enjoyed them in a tomato sauce spiced with tabasco and/or a hot smoky pepper dressing whilst gazing into the starlit night with the full moon turning more and more into a ‘supermoon’ reflected in the ocean.
