Just had a sip of this one. Wow, it's really light on the nose – less of that tarry note, much more citrus. Big, clean lemons and a bit of beeswax, maybe some straw. There’s a definite chalky/mineral thing going on, like licking a pebble.
On the palate it’s bigger than you’d expect, though. Thin mints, a touch of salted porridge... the lemon is perfect, not sharp but full, with some floral hints. Feels kind of medicinal, in a good way – reminds me of dissolving an aspirin in water with honey and a squeeze of lemon. Slightly waxy, like new leather. A very pure expression.
Finish is long, with a bit more smoke coming through at the end and a hint of oyster shell. It’s not a massive whisky, but it’s clean as a whistle, like a Spring morning by the beach. Simple but brilliant. Feels like it’s doing you good. 😊
