This whisky's got a lot happening – first sip hits with zests and sunshine, feels bright. The oak comes through strong, but I'm not buying all this oak, it's a bit much for me. There's a tannicity that's like black tea, with a bitter edge that lingers. I get hints of caramel and flowers, like violets and lavender, which soften it. It's big enough to stand all this tannicity, I suppose. Tastes a little better as I go, with more action, and oddly reminds me of buckwheat crepes or rye. 🌅

Poured a nice dram of this, lovely gold colour in the glass. First sniff is... whoa, that's oak. And then more oak. It's like walking into a carpenter's workshop. First sip is a real spicy punch, like ginger and cinnamon. There's a sweetness underneath, a bit like maple syrup on a spicy bread. Really quite the experience. Honestly, the oak takes over quite aggressively as it goes on. A bit drying on the finish, almost like over-steeped tea leaves. Leaves you with that pencil shaving and sawdust note. A challenging one, for sure. 🥃

闻着有点像科隆香水？挺特别的，没想到威士忌里能闻到这个。喝下去倒是蛮扎实的，有黑麦面包那种扎实感，不过回味真长啊，丁香和苦橙皮的味道在喉咙里绕来绕去。 香草味倒是清晰，但更像香草精？然后联想到荞麦薄饼，挺温暖的。最明显的是各种柑橘皮，特别是苦橙，带点柠檬酸的尖锐感，让整个味道不会太腻。 说实话没尝出那么多橡木味，可能我舌头比较迟钝？倒是希望它更有劲儿一点，现在感觉有点温吞。最后那点丁香回味里混着薰衣草香，是挺优雅，但总觉得缺了点让人兴奋的"劲儿"。
