About Salt Buoy
Fallen Pine's flagship, float-raised in Maryland's Chincoteague Bay coastal lagoons behind Assateague, on a remote lease in neighbouring Brockatonorton Bay. All the salt you would expect from that shoreline, finishing on a distinctive crab-like sweetness.
In plain words: very briny, sweet, oceanic, with salt bomb salt.
