This has a lovely zesty kick upfront, proper citrusy brightness, but then it settles into something more earthy – like hay and a bit of green grass after a walk through the meadows. The finish is very long, smooth, not too mineral, with a gentle peppery warmth creeping in. Vanilla and straw notes mingle, and there's this underlying "good" earthy depth, almost like well-aged dung (in a good way). It's very much the same character as that stellar bottle I had years back – same vibe, same quality. Just superb, really. 😊

This one’s got a lovely nose right off the bat. 🌿 Like taking a stroll through a damp meadow after the rain—earthy, a bit of fresh hay and straw in there. On the palate, it’s a tad greener and more peppery than I expected, which is nice. Definitely in the same ballpark as that Liquid Sun style. There’s a hint of that ‘good’ farmyard dung character, but it works, honestly. The finish goes on forever. Really well-made stuff. 👍

Oh wow, this is a bit special. It definately feels like taking a walk through the meadows on a sunny afternoon—lots of straw and dry hay, with a tad greener note to it and a bit more citrus popping up. There's this earthy, almost 'good' dung character going on, but it's a notch less mineral. Same style as that cracking 1999 release I love. Get quite a bit of vanilla too, before it gets more peppery on the finish. And it's a very long one! Honestly, this is simply as superb as that '99 bottle and would defeat many young Islayers. Absolute stunner 🥃🌾

Lovely drop, really. Gets me thinking of hay, damp earth and a stroll through the meadows after rain 🌾 There’s a bit more citrus and vanilla than I expected, a notch less stony, maybe slightly greener and pepperier too. That earthy farmyard thing is there, but in a nice clean way. Very easy to sit with.

Well, this is a proper lovely dram. Feels earthy in that farmyard-in-a-good-way sort of mood, with straw, hay and a damp meadow walk after rain 🌾 There’s a bit more citrus and vanilla than I expected, then it turns slightly greener and peppery. The finish just goes on and on, warm and quietly smoky, honestly a cracking sip.
