Lucas Feng 4.0

Drawing inspiration from a medieval carving of a mermaid found near Campbeltown's market cross, locally called the 'wee toon', this spirit features packaging artwork by Joel Holtzman, known for his work with Marvel and LucasFilm. A QR code on the bottle unlocks an animated storybook, bringing the mermaid character to life. Nose: Sweet notes of toffee, cinnamon, and chocolate mingle with fresh sea mist and citrus zest. Palate: A rich, velvety mouthfeel presents molasses, brazil nuts, additional toffee, and a pronounced briny quality. Finish: Lingering nuttiness is accompanied by a sherry-influenced sharpness.
