Tasting notes

Deceptively fruity on arrival. Then the world ends. Floral heat that builds in waves — each one slightly worse than the last. Spectacular if ye've earned it.

A jar.
And a wee bito' patience.

Every bottle starts the same way. Scottish peppers, Blackthorn salt, glass. Weeks in the dark while the lactobacillus does its grim, glorious work. We build the sauce by hand — ACV, aromatics, a stubborn opinion aboot when a thing's ready!

Nae machines. Nae shortcuts. Nae rush.
