Popped the cork on this one and straight away… shoe polish and old wax. Not in a bad way, mind. Smells like a 1968 writing desk that someone’s been tinkering with engine oil nearby. First sip is austere as anything. Rocks, wet stones, proper mineral slap. Then a weird, lovely burst of kumquats – tart and a bit metallic – before it rolls back into inky, waxy notes. Extremely grassy too, like some grassy monsters had a philosophical argument in an old Highlands glen and just… stayed. 🌾 It’s a big big whisky. Greatly bitter, which I adore. Feels alive, honest. Not easy, but I can’t stop thinking about it.

Warm and a bit honeyed at first 🍯 I get soft oak, gentle spice, and a wee touch of dried fruit. Finishes quite smooth, with a cosy peppery kick. Nice easy sipper, honestly.

Warm honey, soft oak and a wee bit of smoke 🥃 Feels cosy, slightly spicy, with a gentle salty edge. Finish is mellow and a touch sweet — proper easy sipping.

Warm and mellow, with a bit of honey, oak and gentle spice. Feels cosy, like a quiet evening by the fire 🥃 Finish is soft, slightly sweet, with a wee dry kick. Quite easy-going.

Right, had a wee dram last night and here's what I got from it 🥃 Nose: Loads of honey and vanilla straight off. Bit of toffee too. Getting some apple and pear in there, quite fresh actually. Palate: Proper smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel. Rich caramel notes with a touch of cinnamon. Slight oakiness coming through but not ovrpowering. Finish: Warm and lingerig, got some nice spice at the end. Fades quite gently tbh 👌 Overall: Aye, verra pleasant drop. Quite approachable, wouldnae say no to another glass like.
