Oh wow, this one really hits you right away. 😳 It's like opening an old medicine cabinet in a peat bog, that medicinal note is absolutely screaming. Then there's this waft of burnt rubber bands and... is that fresh milk? How odd but lovely. The colour is full gold, like sunlight through honey. It's incredibly thick on the tongue, coating it completely. I'm getting lapsang souchong tea and something that reminds me of overripe greengages, a sweet fruitiness fighting against the salmiak galore. It's strong, really strong. The aftertaste is endless. The salty and smoky notes cling on, but that medicinal side got even louder with time. A hint of exhaust fumes and, strangely, burning manure in the background. Very impressive. It's got this old-Ardgeggian character about it... spectacularly wild. Beats old Laphroaig for sheer punch. What an extraordinary dram. 👏

Just had a sip and wow, the nose hits with exhaust fumes and a strong medicinal side, like antiseptic wipes. Rubber bands and eucalyptus come through too, remind me of lapsang souchong tea. Texture's incredibly thick, almost chalky. Overripe greengages give it a fruity touch, but salmiak galore adds that salty liquorice kick. Aftertaste is salty and smoky, endless really. Full gold colour looks spectacular. Very different and strong – beats many older drams I've tried. The medicinal side got even louder after a bit. Burning manure lingers in the background, fresh milk? Maybe not. 😊

Just had a sip of this dram – strong stuff! 😊 The nose hits with lapsang souchong tea, burning manure, and a touch of rubber bands, so earthy and peaty. Beats those old peaty whiskies hands down. Taste is incredibly thick, a mixture of chalk and eucalyptus, fresh milk creaminess, and overripe greengages. The medicinal side is odd and intriguing, extremely medicinal in fact. My kind of medicine indeed! Aftertaste is endless, salty and smoky. Spectacular as on the nose. Full gold color. Loving this. 🥃

Blimey, what a surprise! Very impressive stuff. First thing I noticed was the strong exhaust fumes and eucalyptus notes – got a real medicinal side to it, extremely medicinal actually. Very different from the usual drams. Salmiak galore in there, like salty liquorice sweets. The medicinal side got even louder as it opened up, and it reminded me of something filled with old spirit, almost Old-Ardgeggian vibes. My kind of medicine indeed! Beats some older ones I've had before. Spectacular experience. 😊

Proper intense dram 😮‍💨 Thick as anything, full of tarry smoke, salty liquorice, rubber, hot farmyard funk and cold medicinal bits. Got a weird sweet greengage thing under it too. Long, smoky finish with eucalyptus, chalk and a bit of exhaust. Massive, strange, and honestly pretty spectacular.
