Had a dram last night and it was a right oak bomb, frankly over-oaked from the first sip. Spicy arrival with bags and bags of cinnamon, then pencil shavings and sawdust popped up, like sniffing a workshop. There's lavender and bitter cocoa, but the oak just keeps piling on, very oaky indeed. Texture's gritty and very dry, drying out my mouth. Reminds me of spicy bread sprinkled with custard and caraway bread – the colour's gold. Maple syrup and ginger hide underneath, but the typical oak juice takes over. Really very oaky! Medium-bodied, with a hint of coconut cream trying to balance it. 😅

这杯酒真是…橡木味有点挡道了🤔 第一口就满嘴都是那种铅笔屑的感觉，还带着点姜的辛辣。 看着颜色倒是金灿灿的，挺好。但喝起来像辛辣面包撒了卡仕达酱，或者…根本就是典型的橡木汁？老实说，木头味实在放得太多。 口感有点糙糙的，非常干，真的非常干。木质感太太太强了，甚至有点薰衣草味飘出来？后面隐约有苦可可，椰子奶油和枫糖浆的甜味试图救场。 刚喝下去的时候香料感挺冲的，可惜现在全被木头盖住了，像泡过头的茶。 中等酒体，但满脑子都是肉桂肉桂肉桂…还有葛缕子面包的错觉。 总之，木头味多得离谱🥃

Just poured a dram of this one. Colour's a lovely gold, but the nose hit me with sawdust and ginger right off the bat. 😅 First sip, it's frankly over-oaked – more and more oak gets in the way as it lingers. The arrival is rather spicy, like spicy bred sprinkled with custard, and there's a caraway bread note too. Medium body, but very dry and gritty. Bags and bags of cinnamon jump out, with hints of bitter cocoa and pencil shavings. Tastes like typical oak juice, maybe a bit over-infused tea. Maple syrup sweetness tries to peek through, but coconut cream and lavender get lost. Really very oaky, all in all. Better vatted this cask, I'd say. 👍

Just had a dram, and it's this gold-coloured whisky that's really very oaky on the nose – like typical oak juice. First sip, it's a rather spicy arrival with ginger and bags and bags of cinnamon, almost like spicy bread sprinkled with custard and a bit of maple syrup. But then it turns gritty, frankly over-oaked with sawdust notes, and it's very dry and drying on the palate. I get bitter cocoa and hints of lavender and over-infused tea, which reminds me of caraway bread. The oak starts to get in the way more and more, though there's a touch of coconut cream. This cask might be better vatted, medium body but overdone. 😅

Bit of a sunny afternoon dram this one. Cinnamon hits first, proper nice, then some bitter orange peel thing going on. Got that sweet caramel backnote, like burnt sugar. Funny, I'm getting a whiff of cologne and lavender? Very floral, almost like sniffing an old soap. Oak is there, obviously, but not buying all this oak, maybe a bit too much? Tastes a bit like those buckwheat crepes from the French market. Needs to be a little better rounded, more action in the middle. The vanillin sweetness is nice, and there's violets too, but the tannicity feels a bit drying. Still, not bad for a Tuesday. 🤷‍♂️
