Whiskyspace Notes 2360

This one's a bit of a curveball, in a good way. First sip hits you with this fun, fruity punch—like cherry liqueur and redcurrants had a party in a Fanta bottle, but then there's this weird acetone-y kick that makes me think of old marker pens. Not bad, just odd. The nose is all orange-flavoured marzipan and preserved pears, but the palate’s got more malty side vibes, almost like barley water with a twist. There’s a hint of smoke and a touch of peat, but not enough to be overpowering. Midway through, I get this lapsang souchong tea thing going on, smoky and hessian-like, but then it flips to something tamarind-sharp and 7up-fizzy. The finish is medium, with a tobacco-and-woodsy aftertaste that lingers. Definitely not your average grain whisky—it’s like someone chucked a bunch of unusual ingredients into a cask’s previous content and hoped for the best. Gold in colour, but a bit more chaotic in the glass. Would I drink it again? Probably, just to see what else is hiding in there.
