This dram hits you with a proper old school metal polish vibe at first—like sniffing a dusty workshop from the 70s. The beeswax is bold, almost paraffin-like, with a hint of quince jelly sweetness hiding under the surface. It’s got this bright, citrusy kick from tangerines and mandarins, but there’s also a deep, earthy humus note that makes me think of walking through a forest after rain. The limestone and chalk minerals pop through, crisp and clean, like licking a wet stone. Makes me wonder if it’s from up north, all windswept and briny. There’s a whisper of earl grey tea too, earthy teas weaving through the other citrus fruits—maybe orange honey lingering in the background. Looking back, I scribbled notes on a 2007 bottle once, and this baby’s only gotten waxier and rounder over the years. It’s rather long on the finish, but not in a bad way. Almost like it’s moved towards something wilder, more coastal, if you catch my drift. 🥃

Took a sip and immediately hit by this chalky minerality, like licking a limestone wall 😂. There's a crisp white wine edge and this old humidor vibe – all woody and dusty. The citrus is punchy, tangerines and mandarins dancing with quince jelly. Beeswax builds up as it sits, more and more, making it round and waxy. Baby's got rather waxier and rounder over the years in the bottle, reminds me of those earthy teas my gran used to brew mixed with humus. Bright and zesty, with that up north tang. Been sitting on my shelf since 2007, and re-reading my old notes – it's definitely evolved. Short enough on the finish, but the beeswax lingers. Feels like it's shifted towards that Clynelish character, more smoky and maritime. Even got hints of old school metal polish, oddly nostalgic.

The first nose hits you with this bright, almost citrusy punch – tangerines and mandarins dancing around, but there's something deeper, earthier too, like damp humus after rain. It’s got that chalky, limestone minerality underneath, which I can’t not notice, gives it a proper northern edge. The palate’s waxy, reminds me of old beeswax candles or that orange honey you get up north. There’s a hint of Earl Grey tea in there, slightly floral, and this quince jelly sweetness that’s come through more as it’s aged. Funny enough, the longer it sits, the more it feels like it’s moved towards Clynelish – sharper, more metallic, like licking an old school metal polish. But the finish is where it gets interesting: paraffin and more beeswax, almost like a humidor’s lingering scent. It’s rather long but not lingering in a bad way, just enough to make you want another sip. The baby’s definitely gotten rounder over the years in the bottle, that’s for sure 😊

quite like this one... starts with bright orange honey and tangerines, almost like a white wine but with more beeswax. Then it gets that old humidor thing going on, with earthy teas and a bit of chalk. The mineral notes remind me of limestone. A fabulous malt really. The waxier, rounder character from 2007 is still there, mingled with quince jelly and earl grey tea. Finish is rather long, with paraffin and mandarins lingering. A really lovely pour.

这杯让我想起了北方那些老式金属抛光油的气息，蜂蜡那股暖暖的甜味扑面而来，像是打开老旧雪茄盒的那一刻。2007年的陈酿，带着柠檬皮和白葡萄酒的清新，还有点石灰岩的矿石感，像是夏日午后在海边晒太阳。 Earl Grey的茶香若隐若现，配上泥土味的茶叶和腐殖质的回甘，让人想起乡间小路边的那杯下午茶。后段有点蜂蜡的蜜甜，圆润得像是陈年威士忌在瓶中越长越滑顺。最后那点白葡萄酒的酸爽，让整杯酒显得亮而不刺，短促又不过分。
