Popped a dram out, and it hit the palate like a little bizarroïd mix – a bit odd, but oddly charming. The malt was clearly in charge, giving a rich, medium body that felt more than average. I tasted a whisper of raspberry bread and a hint of thin mints, almost like biting into a sweet pastry. Then came the sour red fruits and a subtle splash of apricoty straw, with a dash of cloves that felt surprisingly comforting. I could almost picture a panettone on a sunny day, with peonies and a touch of caraway butter floating in the air – a quirky, pleasant adventure in a glass. 😊🍻

Just had a dram that reminded me of warm bread and oranges, with a malt that’s really taking charge. There’s a hint of sour red fruits and raspberry bread, plus nutmeg and cloves swirling around. A splash of water saved it on the palate, opening up apricot‑sty straw and a touch of Port sweetness. Caraway butter and crystallised oranges peek through, finishing medium‑length with a wacky, almost bizarroïd vibe – like listening to Kenny G. on a malt whisky. 😊🥃

proper wacky little malt this, innit? 😂 first you get orange blossom, then these sharp Seville orange notes mixed with raspberry bread and a hint of caraway butter? proper strange combination but it works! there’s a bit of crystallised orange, thin mints too, and that smooth Kenny G. of malt whisky vibe just rolling through. splashed a bit of water and water saved it on the palate, calmed all the zesty bits down. you can taste the PX and Port influence too, little hits of cassis buds, nutmeg, even a whiff of apricoty straw like you’re in a field. it’s a proper bizarroïd mix but bloody refreshing, finish is medium, not too long, leaves a hint of panettone and sour red fruits on the tongue 🥃

Blimey, this one’s a proper oddball 😅 Starts like a bakery—warm dough and panettone vibes—then bam, Seville oranges and crystallised bits hit you. There’s this weird but nice mix of sour red fruits and apricoty straw, like someone chucked a fruit salad in a PX cask. Cloves and nutmeg lurking in the background, with a whiff of orange blossom and peonies. Finish is decent, not too long, but that caraway butter note? Proper bizarre. Feels like Kenny G. playing the saxophone at a Christmas market 🎷🍊

Poured a dram last night and wow, it's like biting into fresh panettone with all that bread and oranges vibe going on. There's this doughy sweetness that reminds me of caraway butter on warm bread. Definitely getting Seville oranges and a bit of crystallised orange peel, almost like those thin mints you get after dinner but with more citrus. The orange blossom notes are lovely, quite floral. Adding a few drops of water saved it on the palate honestly, opened up this wacky cassis buds thing I wasn't expecting. Reminds me a bit of Port or PX sherry sweetness coming through. Overall it's kind of the Kenny G. of malt whisky - smooth, easy listening, nothing too challenging 😄 Medium finish, pleasant enough for a Tuesday night.
