First sip feels kinda fabric‑y and chalky, with a plain‑asset vibe, like vase water left out. There’s a really waxy feel, not a lot of changes as it opens, hint of oyster mushrooms and a bit of forest floor. A touch of old basement dampness, sulphury notes, and a whisper of Jerez vinegar. Finishes long with walnuts, straw and a faint gin‑like citrus lift. 🥃

Just poured a dram and got hit by mossy autumn leaves, a whisper of straw and a touch of lemon zest. There's a faint hint of old oloroso sherry, like dried orange peel soaked in Jerez vinegar, with a bit of sooty paraffin and a mossy, almost Ben Nevis‑like earthiness. Slightly bitter grasses and walnut notes creep in, finishing with a clean, almost vase‑water freshness. Not much changes from nose to palate, but it’s brilliant in its simplicity. 🌿

It starts off proper peaty, like a forest floor after rain – moss, mushrooms, that sort of thing. There's a nice hit of oranges and lemon in there too, which cuts through the earthiness. The texture is really waxy, almost like porridge, but in a good way. A bit of Jerez vinegar adds a tangy kick, and you get this old oloroso sherry influence with walnuts and a touch of bitter grasses. The finish is long, with soot and tarmac notes, but it's fantastic overall. Not a lot of changes, just consistent and brilliant. Epitomically Ben Nevis? Maybe, but that's just my take. 🥃

Took a sip and it's like someone lit a fire in an old cellar, all soot and damp stones. Really waxy on the tongue, almost like licking a candle, but there's this bright citrus punch from oranges and lemon cutting through. Earthy mushrooms—proper forest floor vibes, with a whiff of gin and something weirdly fabric-like. The finish is long, tarry, like walking on fresh tarmac after rain. Not a lot of changes, but that's not bad—it just sits there, solid as a plain asset. Hints of walnuts and autumn leaves, a bit sulphury but not overwhelming. Approaching perfection, if you like your whiskies dirty and complex. 🍂

Blimey, that’s a proper old-school one. Starts with a whiff of damp moss and autumn leaves, like kicking through a forest floor. Then there’s this sooty, almost dirty edge—like an old basement with a hint of paraffin. Taste is long and waxy, bit of lemon zest cutting through the porridge-y richness. Mushrooms pop up, earthy and deep, with a touch of gin-like herbal bite. Finishes with a whisper of Jerez vinegar and a lingering oiliness. Fantastic stuff, really takes you somewhere. 🍂
