Just poured a dram, bright amber in the glass. First sniff brings apricot jam and a hint of peppery greenness, then a whiff of brioche and liquid panettone vibes. On the palate it’s thick(ish) with fudge‑y sweetness, raisins and a touch of cloves, finishing with a marmalade zing that swims very well. Feels like a slice of cake dipped in tea ☕️.

Just had a dram that reminded me of fresh brioche with a hint of apricot jam instead of orange marmalade, a little fudge‑y sweetness and a touch of raw malt. The palate feels long and slightly thickish, with peppery marmalade and cloves dancing like playing first saxophone in a bakery. Pale gold in the glass, bright and almost zesty, with raisins and sugar‑coated peanuts sneaking in. Feels like liquid panettone meets liquid kugelhopf – cakey, malty cakes and a swirl of brownies. Swims very well, nice and smooth. 🥃

This one’s a right proper dram – pale gold and bright as a summer morning. Takes a sniff and it’s like someone’s playing first saxophone in the room, smooth but with a bit of bite. The taste? Proper challenging, in a good way. There’s this peppery marmalade tang that lingers, not too shy about it. Swims very well, mind, coats the gums with something rich, almost zesty. Reminds me of liquid panettone or malty cakes, but with a touch of raw malt that keeps it grounded. Long and slightly thick(ish) on the finish, like a fudge-y hug with a spoonful of apricot jam instead of orange. Sweet, but not cloying – more like a synthesis of all the previous ones, dancing about on the tongue. A drop of honey in there too, subtle but present. Bit of a head-scratcher, this one, but I’m not complaining.

First sip and it's this pale gold colour, reminds me of those sugar-coated peanuts you get at fairs. There's a proper fudge-y richness, almost like malty cakes soaked in honey. The apricot jam instead of orange gives it this bright, slightly zesty kick, not too overpowering. Then there's the peppery marmalade and cloves, adding a bit of spice. It's long and slightly thick(ish) on the finish, like liquid panettone with all the raisin and pastry bits. Challenging in a good way, like it's got all these flavors playing together without being messy. Definitely one for sipping slow, let it develop. 🥃

This one's got a lovely honey and sugar-coated peanuts sweetness right off the bat. It's bright and zesty too, almost like a peppery marmalade. Really reminds me of a liquid kugelhopf or some malty pastries fresh from the oven 🍰. There's a slight thickness to it, and it's definitely got that raw malt character. The peppery greenness and cloves come through, making it a bit challenging at times, but in a good way. It's like a sip of apricot jam and raisins mixed together. Finishes long and fudge-y. A proper dessert dram.
