Just had a nip of this dram, and it’s like sipping Earl Grey forgotten in the teapot—subtle, a bit faded, but still something about it. The floral jellies and chamomile give it a delicate charm, while that slightly overripe clementine lingers, sweet and mellow. Oddly reminds me of Japanese red bean paste, soft and earthy. Colours have faded a little over time, but there’s a wild rose note hiding in there, very light on the tongue. Finish’s short, though, and I’m left with a stale herbal tea whisper. Nice to sip slow, but not sure it’s got the legs for much more than that. 🥃

Right, so this one's a pale gold in the glass, very light and delicate. 😊 It's got that charm of an old and lovely painting, with colours faded a little over time. I'm picking up chamomile and wild rose, like faded flowers, and herbal infusions – think mint tea and Earl Grey that's been forgotten in the teapot. There's a stale herbal tea note, and hints of Japanese red bean paste and floral jellies. A bit of mead and slightly overripe clementine in there too. The finish is quite short, but it's pleasant. 🥃

刚喝一口，这威士忌的颜色淡金，像褪色的老画 🎨 闻起来是甘菊和野玫瑰的花香，细腻得让人联想到蜂蜜酒和薄荷茶 🍯 但余味有点短，甚至有点 unnerving，像稍过熟的克莱门氏小柑橘 口感里有花香果冻和日式红豆沙的甜味，草药浸泡液的感觉 整体有种 charm，就像一杯陈旧的草药茶，色彩随时间褪色了

Hmm, this one's very light on the palate, like watered-down honey. I get this weirdly specific note of a slightly overripe clementine, the kind that's been in the fruit bowl a bit too long. 🍊 The colour is a pale gold, honestly, it looks like the colours have faded a little over time. It makes me think of an old and lovely painting left in the sun. There's a definite charm there. The nose has wild rose and something like floral jellies, but it's mixed with a bit of a stale herbal tea note... like faded flowers left in a vase. It's delicate, maybe a bit too delicate for me? The finish is surprisingly short, and there's this one note that's a tiny bit unnerving – strangely similar to the taste of Japanese red bean paste, but in a whisky. Odd, but not off-putting. Just... curious. 🤔

Pale gold in the glass, quite delicate really. Smells a bit like an old lovely painting, mint tea, and Earl Grey left too long in the pot. There’s a wee touch of overripe clementine and mead 🍊 Herbal, soft, slightly odd in a charming but faintly unnerving way. Finish is short, but nice enough.
