Hmm, this one’s a proper time capsule, honestly. Feels like they tried to nail a bottle from the ‘50s or something. Colour’s all gold in the glass. First whiff is pure fresh-cut grass, then a nice hit of gooseberries and greengages. There’s this slight metallic tang, like copper polish. Tastes much sweeter than the nose suggests. More of that typical green fruit, but then… mushrooms? Musty, forest floor stuff. Earthy humus, mosses, touches of old wine barrel and very old tree stumps. The finish just lingers with that lovely earthiness. Left me thinking of a bag of dried figs, weirdly enough.

This one’s got a lovely earthiness to it, like walking through a damp forest floor. On the nose, I’m getting whiffs of copper polish and musty mushrooms right away – more of that musty old-schoolness. Really kind of old-school, you know? It had me thinking they’d maybe tried to replicate a bottle from the 1950s. But on the palate it’s much sweeter, with bags of dried figs and turns fruitier – typical green fruits, gooseberries, even some greengages. Pure grass and mosses come through too. Nice touches of old wine barrel and very old tree stumps. Even a little smoky. Puts me in mind of a very old bottle of high-malt-content blended Scotch, with all that humus and gold in the glass. 🥃

It pours a beautiful gold, and straight away the nose is full of that musty old-schoolness. Reminds me of very old tree stumps and humus, with whiffs of copper polish and touches of old wine barrel. There's even a little smoky hint in the back, like distant campfire. The palate is much sweeter than expected, though. Tons of typical green fruits – greengages, gooseberries, and kiwi, plus bags of dried figs and candied angelica. The musty mushrooms and mosses come through too, that lovely earthiness. As if they had tried to replicate a bottle from the 1950s, really. A very old bottle of high-malt-content blended Scotch. Nice, and pretty long on the finish. Pure grass lingers. 😊

Ooh, this dram's got a real kick to it! 👃 Smells like a bonfire mixed with some sweet fruits – kinda like apples and a bit of cinnamon. First sip, it’s all smokey and earthy, but then you get this lovely honey coming through. 🍯 Finish is long and warming, with a bit of oak lingerin’. Really moreish, perfect for a chilly evenin’. 😊 Wait, almost forgot – there’s a subtle vanilla note that sneaks in, makes it dead smooth. Don’t let the peat fool ya, it’s balanced proper. Cheers! 🥃

Right then, just had a wee dram. 🥃 Nose is proper smoky, reminds me of peat fires back home. 🌫️ Bit of honey sweetness too. Taste warms the chest, spicy kick like ginger or cinnamon. 🌶️ Finish is long, very smooth. Makes you wanna sit by the fire and relax. 🔥 Definatly a good one for a quiet evening. Cheers! 🍻
