Honestly this one's massive. Starts with this petrol note that hits you hard, then salty and smoky comes through. Getting wet hessian and leather underneath, a bit camphor-like. There's sweet farmy notes too, kinda fermentary. The older 22 has more gold and thymol, while the new 38 is younger, mustardy. But this one’s sweeter than the new 38, with lip balm and menthol edges. It's poetry in your glass, really. Brilliant stuff. 👍

Blimey, this one hits you hard right off the bat. 💥 Straight peat and wet dogs, like walking into a damp barn. There's this massive smoky wave, but then... it eases. The younger 38 notes come through with some fermentary, farmy sweetness. I'm getting crushed almonds, a bit of peppery kick, and something leather-like. It's totally huge on the tongue, almost a body-builder in a glass. The aftertaste is where it gets proper interesting. Almonds stick around, but now there's camphor and menthol, and a salty, gold-like finish. Not troubling at all, just brilliant complexity. Poetry in your glass, really. 🥃

Aye, this one’s a right cozy dram. Nose is all stewed apples & a whisper of sea salt 🌊 First sip… ooh, warms ye right from the chest. Peat’s there but soft—like wet heather, not a bonfire. Finish hangs about wi’ dark choclate & a wee salted caramel note 🍫 Feels like a wooly jumper in a glass, honestly. Bit of a typos sorry, 2 drams deep 😂
