Poured myself a dram, light gold in the glass. The nose had this interesting mix - some citrus, a bit of wood smoke, and something that made me think of chalk dust. Weirdest thing is the palate; it feels both lighter and deeper at the same time, almost like a more sweet weissbeer meeting some awesome bourbon-led flavours. Got a real craft whisky vibe from it, that bizarro feeling. There's fruit in there, maybe some pistachio nougat, and a touch of popcorn. Finish is where the oak really makes its presence known, a bit loud but pleasant, like linden tea. All in all, a very good drop. Just very good. 👌

Just had a sip of this whisky – light gold in the glass, and the smell hits with fruits and citrus, maybe a bit of pistachio nougat. Tastes medium, a tiny wee bit thin but very pleasant. There's this curious feeling, like it's both lighter and deeper, almost a bizarre craft vibe. The oak kicks in more at the finish, a little loud, giving it an oakier signature. Makes me think of weissbeer, but sweeter, and less salty. Hints of linden tea and dust, with some chips in there. Overall, just a very good drop. 😊

Feels oddly crafty, but in a good way. Light on its feet yet somehow deeper than expected 🤔 Bit of dust, chalk, weissbeer, popcorn and pistachio nougat. Medium body, maybe a tiny wee bit thin, then the oak gets a tad loud at the end. Still very pleasant, quite oakie, and just very good.

Soft and warming, with a bit of apple, spice and gentle smoke. Feels cosy, slightly sweet, then turns dry and oaky at the end 🥃 Quite an easy wee dram for a quiet night.

Warm and a bit smoky, with a wee touch of honey and oak. Feels cosy, slightly spicy, and lingers nicely 😊 Slips down easy on a chilly evening.
