Pure Deid

£16

A measured violence. Earned, no shouted.

Carolina reaper and aged habanero, fermented twelve weeks in oak ex-sherry casks. Stone fruit on the way in. Leather in the middle. A slow, rolling deid that disnae apologise. Ye were warned.

Tasting notes

Dark fruit and tobacco on the nose. Jammy sherry notes upfront, then the heat builds wi' genuine menace. Lingers long. Ye'll feel it in yer collar.

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.
