Just had a sip of this – blimey, it's a heavy hitter. Overcooked leather and bitter dark chocolate upfront, like diving into some mature old Burgundy. There's this mulchy, earthy thing going on, with umami vibes and sea salt lingering on the finish. Gamey notes sneak in, almost like miso paste, but it's not too in your face. Wood and spice mix with sweeter bits, kind of like trifle soaked in kirsch. It's really testing the limits with its very heavy sherry, ink-like darkness, and chocolate sauce touches. Walnut oil and hardwood resins add depth, alongside date loaf sweetness. Earthy old style sherry all the way – heavy stuff, but somehow balanced. 🥃

今晚这杯让我想起在爷爷旧书房闻到的那股子味道——老橡木柜子混着皮革旧书包，还带点钢笔漏墨的淡淡墨水气。刚喝进去那下有点顶，像硬核巧克力酱混着腌核桃的咸鲜，舌尖还泛起小时候咳嗽糖浆的阴影。 但慢慢会渗出些软糯的蜜饯无花果，像圣诞布丁被樱桃酒泡透了，底下还压着层湿泥土的野性。咽下去之后喉咙发紧，仿佛嚼了片风干蘑菇，咸得让人想舔嘴唇。 说实话这酒挺蛮横的，差点让我怀疑是不是把雪莉桶煮过头了。但收尾时突然转出点烤橘皮的清新，最后留在嘴里的竟像块咸太妃糖，又重又暖。🍫

嗯，这酒真的很重，像是墨水般的黑加上点黑咖啡的焦苦。闻起来有股老式雪莉的湿蘑菇感，还带着些腌黑果子的甜酸。 喝起来简直是黑咖啡兑了天然焦糖糖浆，很厚实，核桃油和黑巧克力的苦香裹着。有股陈年勃艮第红酒的那种地窖味，甚至让我想起奶油蛋糕泡在樱桃酒里。 偶尔能捕捉到一丝海盐和甘草糖的咸甜，还有点烟熏木质调。中段出现了类似味噌的咸鲜感，和晒干的蘑菇味混在一起。 整体非常浓郁，但不会腻人。尾韵中等长度，留下皮革、香料和淡淡苦味。真是奇妙的组合，像在测试浓郁度的极限。

Crikey, this one's proper heavy stuff. First thing I get is this reddish black coffee note, like something overcooked and left on the burner too long. Then it hits you with date molasses and chocolate sauce — really thick and syrupy, like trifle soaked in kirsch that's been sitting in the cellar for decades. There's definitely that earthy old style sherry character, the kind that doesn't really exist in whisky anymore. Preserved dark fruits, walnuts, maybe a touch of cough syrup. And underneath all that, something mulchy, like dried mushrooms and miso paste. Sounds odd but it works. It's testing the limits in terms of intensity, no doubt. The herbal bitters and hardwood resins keep it from being too cloying. Dark chocolate that's proper bitter, almost like ink. A bit of sea salt on the finish too 👌 Very excellent drop if you're in the mood for something big and brooding. Not for every night, but when you want it, nothing else will do.

Hmm, first sip is like walking into an old, damp cellar full of interesting things. Got that earthy, mushroomy thing going on, a bit like wet soil and dried porcini. Then this very heavy, old-school sherry note comes through, almost medicinal, like date molasses and cough syrup – but somehow it works? It’s definitely testing the limits. There’s this savoury, umami vibe, a bit gamey even, mixed with bitter dark chocolate and salted liquorice. Think of a trifle soaked in kirsch, but with a serious, mulchy side. The oak comes through as hardwood resins and a bit of leather. What’s clever is it avoids being too cloying. There are these sweeter, fresher elements in there too, like pickled walnuts or a hint of aniseed, that lift it up. The finish is long, dark and roasty – black coffee with maybe a bit of natural tar liqueur? You even get a little sea salt coming back. It’s a heavy, complex stuff, a bit overcooked in a good way. A very excellent drop if you’re in the mood for something that really makes you think. Cheers. 🥃
