First thing that hits me is just... wood. Like, really very oaky. Almost like sucking on a plank, quite frankly over-oaked for my taste. It's so drying on the palate, a rather spicy arrival that turns into pencil shavings very quickly. Gets very dry and gritty in the middle. After a bit, some interesting notes pop up – Caraway bread maybe, and then bags and bags of cinnamon. It's like spicy bread sprinkled with custard, but more and more oak gets in the way of enjoying it. Finish is all bitter cocoa and that woody dryness. Whew. 🥃

刚刚倒了一杯，金黄色的，像午后的阳光。 闻起来有很明显的柑橘香，像是橙子皮，还有一点点荞麦可丽饼的香气。喝第一口，先尝到了点苦橙和黑巧克力的味道，单宁感挺强，橡木味也很重——老实说，这橡木味有点冲，感觉像是把木头直接塞嘴里了。 中段能喝出红茶和一丝古龙水的复杂气息，慢慢变得圆润些。黑麦的辛辣感也出来了，有点意思。 最妙的是尾韵，非常非常“果酱”，树莓果酱和苦橙果酱的感觉混在一起，在嘴里久久不散，回味很长。总的来说，层次挺多，但前面那股橡木的“存在感”实在太强了😂

刚倒出来就闻到一股椰奶味儿混着木屑，有点扎嘴的第一下🔥 酒体中等偏干，像嚼了口沙子似的gritty…木头味实在重，铅笔刨花和锯末感太明显了，说实话有点过桶。 不过尾调居然有烤面包撒蛋奶冻的错觉，可可苦香慢慢泛上来，收口带点辛辣…金色酒液看着倒是漂亮。 整体就是木头开会，但喝久了居然有点上头？😅

This whisky's got a lot happening – first sip hits with zests and sunshine, feels bright. The oak comes through strong, but I'm not buying all this oak, it's a bit much for me. There's a tannicity that's like black tea, with a bitter edge that lingers. I get hints of caramel and flowers, like violets and lavender, which soften it. It's big enough to stand all this tannicity, I suppose. Tastes a little better as I go, with more action, and oddly reminds me of buckwheat crepes or rye. 🌅

Poured a nice dram of this, lovely gold colour in the glass. First sniff is... whoa, that's oak. And then more oak. It's like walking into a carpenter's workshop. First sip is a real spicy punch, like ginger and cinnamon. There's a sweetness underneath, a bit like maple syrup on a spicy bread. Really quite the experience. Honestly, the oak takes over quite aggressively as it goes on. A bit drying on the finish, almost like over-steeped tea leaves. Leaves you with that pencil shaving and sawdust note. A challenging one, for sure. 🥃
