Right, so I'm nosing this dram and straight away I'm getting golden syrup and corn syrup sweetness, bit of that bubblegum note you get in some sweeter whiskies. There's geranium in there too, floral and a tad perfumey, and then it goes all weirdly earthy—beetroot, roasted chicory, that sort of dark rooty pie vibe. On the palate it's medium-bodied and honestly a bit too sweet for me, proper pudding whisky. I'm getting pumpkin pie and carrot cake with a dollop of peanut butter, butterscotch, and this syrupy grenadine thing. Then Jerusalem artichokes sneak in, giving it this savoury, almost nutty edge against all that sugar. It's complex, no doubt, but sweet enough that I'm humming a dodgy pop tune. Gold in the glass, a bit gold filling in my tooth from all the sticky syrup. 🍯🎃
