Well, this one hits you right away with a spicy kick, sort of like ginger and cinnamon doing a little dance. Very dry, almost like sipping over-brewed tea that's gone tannic. The oak is just... everywhere. It's not subtle; more like chewing on a pencil or walking into a carpenter's shop. Sawdust and more sawdust. There's a gritty texture too. Oddly, there's a fleeting sweetness underneath—coconut cream or maple syrup—but it gets bulldozed by the wood. Ends with a bitter cocoa and some lavender, which is interesting. Frankly, it's all about the oak. A real wood-fest. 🪵 Sometimes I get a hint of that spicy bread with custard, but mostly it's just drying and woody. A bit much for me, maybe.

🥃 Hmm first sip is like... maple syrup mixed with typical oak juice, that golden colour promised sweetness but... it dries out quick. Really quite dry actually 😅 Then I get this weird image of spicy bread sprinkled with custard?? But more and more oak gets in the way, turning that sweetness bitter – bitter cocoa, ginger bite, maybe lavender trying to poke through... By the end it's bags and bags of cinnamon coating everything, gritty texture too. Frankly over-oaked to my taste.

刚喝第一口的时候，那股辛辣感还挺明显的，像是撒了肉桂粉的热面包，带着点姜味儿。 接着橡木味就铺天盖地来了…说实话，有点过了，像啃了一嘴新刨的木屑，还有铅笔屑那种干燥感。虽然能尝到一点枫糖浆和椰子奶油的甜香，但马上就被更强烈的、泡过头的茶涩味和苦可可盖过去了。 喝到后面嘴里很干，整体是中等酒体，但橡木的感觉越来越突兀，像在喝“橡木汁”😂。颜色倒是挺漂亮的金色，可惜其他风味都被挤得有点零碎了。

this one smells like lavender soap at first, but then i get buckwheat crepes on the nose? kinda odd but i like it. the taste has a bit of tannicity, reminds me of black tea. bitter oranges and orange zests jump out too, like marmalade on toast. feels rounder as it opens up. in the finish, raspberry jam pops in, and the cologne note returns. rather long, actually. it's a gold colour in the glass, holds the sunshine nicely. the vanillin sweetness is there, just enough. not bad at all.

Deep gold in the glass 🥃 Loads of oak straight away — pencil shavings, sawdust, cinnamon by the bag, and a dry spicy feel. Bit of caraway bread and custard too. Turns creamy for a moment, like coconut cream, then the wood comes roaring back. Quite drying, pretty punchy, very oaky.
