刚开瓶那会儿，闻着是那种清浅的蜜糖香，带点柑橘和薄荷草的感觉，隐约还有些烟熏茶的味道，挺有意思的。 有意思的是，它的口感有点像从轻快转向扎实，中段能尝到些海盐和海藻的咸鲜感，还夹杂着蒲公英和欧芹的清新。 尾韵倒是挺长，带点焦糖和木头的温暖，最后嘴里留下些柔和的泥煤烟熏感，但不算冲。整体喝下来感觉挺舒服，适合慢慢琢磨。

Right then, poured myself a dram tonight and it proper hit different from the first sip. Lovely gold colour in the glass — reminded me a bit of autumn light coming through the curtains. Started off with these lighter honeys and yellow flowers, almost like walking past a garden after the rain. Then came the citrus — good citrus mind you, lemons and green apples dancing around. There's a modern bourbony side to it as well, that charring and vanilla sweetness giving it a bit of backbone. But then it takes some proper turns and twists 🤔 The smoked herbs kick in, and I'm getting this lapsang souchong thing going on, like someone left a pot of tea steeping too long. Rather nice actually. Seaweed and a touch of camphor — makes me think of seaside holidays up in Scotland, oddly enough. Still smoky but not overwhelming, with these whiffs of fresh parsley keeping things fresh. Dandelions and coriander come through in the middle, and there's this subtle acacia and sawdust note underneath. The caramel rounds it all off beautifully. Goes on rather long in the finish, that smokiness left in the aftertaste just lingers like a good bonfire memory. Properly satisfying stuff 👌

金黄色的酒液闻起来有股青苹果和柠檬的清新，夹杂着一点樟脑和香菜籽的香气，让我想起老药柜和厨房香料架。隐约还有些海藻和烟熏正山小种茶的底调。 喝下去感觉挺有意思，先是焦糖和香草的甜，接着有锯末般的木质气息，还有点黄花和蒲公英似的草本味。口感不算厚重，带着些柑橘的明亮感和浅蜂蜜的轻盈。 最特别的是它的变化，像有人从马车换到了赛马，一路有些小转折。最后收尾挺长，嘴里留着股淡淡的烟熏感，有点像烧过的香草和烟熏草药，偶尔能捕捉到一丝新鲜欧芹的影子。 整体挺耐琢磨的，不算简单直接，但喝着挺舒服 😊

Honestly, the first thing that hits me is this lovely warmth... like sitting by a fireplace. It smells of burnt caramel and vanilla, with a bit of that smoky, herbal thing going on. Then you take a sip, and it’s surprisingly fresh with green apples and a good, sharp citrus punch – lemons, maybe? There’s a honeyed sweetness that’s quite light, not heavy at all. The middle has this interesting mix of charring and something like sawdust, or maybe smoked herbs. I get a little hint of something floral, yellow flowers, and a wiff of fresh parsley which is a bit unexpected but nice. The finish is where it really shows its depth. It turns a bit more rugged, with that seaweed and camphor note coming through, very evocative. There’s a lingering lapsang souchong smokiness right at the end, and it’s rather long. You can tell it’s been in some interesting casks. A really complex pour, this one. 👍

Just poured a dram of this one, and the colour is proper gold, like late afternoon sun. 😄 Right off the bat, there’s still a smoky thing going on, but it’s not all campfire. Getting lemons, and weirdly, whiffs of fresh parsley. The nose has this sawdust and camphor note, and a bit of seaweed? It’s unique. There’s a softer side too, like acacia and lighter honeys underneath. Taking a sip, it’s a whole journey. First hit of green apples and good citrus, then some charring comes through. I swear I’m tasting dandelions, like in a field. There’s a modern bourbony side with vanilla and caramel, but then it does these proper turns and twists. Ends up with yellow flowers and that lapsang souchong tea vibe. The finish is rather long. The smokiness left in the aftertaste is like a gentle memory. You know, it’s a bit like carts to horses... starts one place, ends up somewhere else completely. Keeps me guessing. 🤔
