Just had a go at this whisky, and it's like a little adventure in a glass. There's a whiff of gunpowder tea and herbs, earthy and smoky, then green apples and vanilla pop up – sweet and fresh. I even taste something like Dr. Pepper, with that spicy-sweet kick. The coastalness is gentle, soft seaweed notes making me think of seaside walks. It feels a bit young, new-make-y, and could use a few more years to smooth out. The aftertaste has custard and sweet pears, alongside aniseed and sunflower oil, maybe from the thuja wood or teak oil. There's cranberries for a tart edge, and a white wine-like acidity that sticks around. Pretty accurate flavors all round! 😊
