Right, here goes… just poured a dram and having a quiet moment with it. Nose is immediately cracked pepper and this lovely characterful dram, sort of tarry sand and broken branches after a storm. Tiny whiff of linseed oil, and something oddly plasticine-y from childhood, but it works. A little coffee bean peeking through, then orange-y notes like Seville oranges muddled with a splash of orange liqueur. On the sip, it’s medium weight, vanilla and green tea blended with smoked tea – almost gunpowder tea smokiness. That liquorice wood backbone is a clear asset, dry and gently spicy. Finish clings with a smoky aftertaste, earthy, like cold campfire embers and a faint zest of those oranges again. Very good indeed. 👌🥃🍊
