🥃 Just had a glass and the first hit is that raw liquid chocolate bitter, with a whiff of fresh parsley and green grasses straight off the bat. Then you get that earthy leaves background, little nutty walnut notes, even that faint pebbly mineral dry tang half way through. Nearly joked I’d need a glass of water to chase it at one point, kept asking for water cause it was so dry it made my mouth feel like dry rocks 😂 Mustard’s there too if you pay attention, super subtle. The finish is long and superbly dry, no sweetness at all till the very very end of the aftertaste where there’s a tiny little sweet pop, reminds me of eating sushi with a dab of wasabi. Like this style very much, excellent too honestly.

Blimey, this one's proper dry. Like, absolutely bone-dry — no sweetness at all until this tiny hint creeps in right at the very end of the aftertaste. Kind of catches you off guard. First thing I got was bitter caramel and bitter chocolate, almost like raw liquid chocolate that's been left out too long. Then there's this earthier background — gravel, pebbles, dry rocks, like walking on a path after rain's dried up. Bit of walnut coming through, some grasses and leaves too. Quite savoury overall. The horseradish is absolutely everywhere honestly, and there's mustard there as well — made me think of proper sushi with wasabi, not joking 😂 It's quite a beast, this one. Might wreck your vertebras if you're not ready for it. Had to ask for water at one point ngl. The finish is long and superbly dry. Genuinely excellent stuff, but I did like the PX a little better if I'm honest — just had a touch more going on for me. Anyway, solid dram. Would absolutely have again. 🥃

Just poured a dram – first whiff is all walnuts and autumn leaves, then bam, horseradish in abundance hits you. Makes me think of grasses and verdejo, though that’s probably the wine geek in me talking 😅 It’s long and superbly dry, without the tiniest bit of sweetness. Got a real spine to it, leaves you asking for water, honestly could wreck your vertebras if you’re not careful. Notes of wasabi and pebbles come through, with a bit of mustard. I like this style very much. Hints of cracked pepper and bitter caramel too – excellent stuff. Strangely makes me crave sushi; there’s this earthier background that lingers.

Lovely cosy dram 🥃 Soft honey and oak, a bit of spice, with a warm, slightly smoky finish. Feels easy-going, like a quiet night in. Bit moreish tbh 🙂

Ah, luv a good whisky! 🥃 The aroma is just luvly – vanilla, oak, maybe sum caramel. On the sip, it's so smoth, with a bit of spice and a sweet aftertaset. Really warms you up on a cold evning. Cheers! 😋
