Right, so this one's proper mad — the beer character completely takes over the whisky, honestly. First thing I got was this rich fruity hit, blackberries and some fresh strawberries vibes, almost like a fresher fruitcake someone's just pulled from the oven. There's a definite earthy side to it too, mixed with these tangerine-y hop notes that scream fruity IPA. 😄 The mouthfeel is quite neat, got this subtle fattish sourness lurking in there, kinda pleasant actually. The finish hangs around for ages — proper long — and you keep getting these meadow flowers and golden fruit notes drifting back. Water it down a touch and the stout character starts peeking through, makes it a very pleasant concoction altogether. Beer-heavy for sure, almost like someone's done a proper Belgo-Japanese experiment with it. Brewdog energy, if you know what I mean 🍺 Honestly? It's a mad little dram but I'm not complaining.

Blimey, this one's mad. 😅 Sips neat, but honestly? It's basically beer. Totally dominated by a fruity hops-heavy IPA vibe – think citra and those tangerine-y hops. Loads of overripe bananas and fresh strawberries jump out, with a bit of an earthy side and some meadow flowers. Very fun, full of fun. The finish is properly long, like a good stout linger. Basically a very nice beer pretending to be whisky. 🤷‍♂️

刚打开闻起来有那种 mad 的柑橘香，像 tangerine-y hops 混着 meadow flowers，还有点 overripe bananas 的甜腻感。 喝一口第一反应是：这玩意儿真 beer-heavy！好像有人把 fruity hops-heavy IPA 直接倒进威士忌桶里了。 Citra 啤酒的感觉太明显了，简直 beer totally dominate the whisky，但又不是讨厌的那种。微微的 fattish sourness 带着 strawberries 和 cherries 的果味，尾段泛出 blackberries 的 earthy side。 整体 mouth neat，口感饱满，像喝融化的 fresher fruitcake。后劲上来后反而尝到更多 fruits 层次，有点 Belgo-Japanese cocktail 那种奇特的平衡感。 最妙的是那个 finish long，喝完后舌尖还留着 gold 般的甜，pretty sexy 的收尾。大半夜喝这个，感觉浑身都 full of fun！

刚抿一口，唔…这感觉，肥肥的酸？真的有点像在喝一杯带着果味啤酒花的IPA！🍓 说实话，啤酒的感觉太突出了，几乎把威士忌的本体给盖住了，有点意思又有点疯狂。 慢慢喝，能尝到新鲜的草莓和黑莓甜香，还有点淡淡的、类似草地野花的气息。回味里能感觉到一丝泥土味，整体意外地很干净，不腻。 比想象中清爽，像个更水果版的圣诞蛋糕？尾韵很长，喝起来满满乐趣，真的。🍻

Blimey, this one’s a bit mad, innit? 🍻 Neat, it’s like sticking your nose straight into a fruity hops-heavy IPA – all strawberries and blackberries bouncing about, but there’s this beer-heavy stout vibe underneath that would totally dominate the whisky if you weren’t careful. The mouthfeel’s got this fattish sourness, like overripe bananas mixed with cherries, then it swings to a fresher fruitcake thing, almost like meadow flowers peeking through. With water, it calms down – turns into a pleasant concoction, like a Belgo-Japanese cocktail dreamed up by Brewdog’s cold-distilled beer lot. I get this earthy side, a touch of gold, and it becomes full of fun. The finish is long, pretty sexy in a strange way – Citra hops lingering like you’ve just had a very nice beer but with whisky bones. Too busy elsewhere to care about balance, but I like!
