Had a proper lovely dram of this earlier, honestly? 👌 Nose is straight up that PX seco from Malaga first, then you get artichokes in oil, a wee drop of cider vinegar, cooked bell pepper, truffle oil, even that damp earth, got that Picasso touch to it y’know, like a little artistic flair? Texture’s got that oily side, similar to some of the richer oilier Speyside drams, balances all the flavours perfect. Lovely bitter edge, soft mustard, mustard and walnuts, even a touch of tobacco, pours that pale gold colour too. Long finish, candied lemon in the aftertaste that just hangs around. Water isn’t necessary at all, no need to add a drop. Immensely superior to all the sweeter versions out there, the 34-month finish works so well, combination is just spot on. 🥃

Just had a dram, and wow. Damp earth hit me first, like after rain in the countryside. Then mustard and walnuts, with that lovely bitterness – so smooth. Long finish keeps on going, with candied lemon and pepper popping up. Cider vinegar adds a nice tang, and green walnuts give an oily touch. Clay minerality in the background too. This finish always works so well, it's getting a bit annoying! 😂 Perfect blend though. 🥃

Smells just like that PX seco from Malaga, proper earthy and rich. First sip’s all cooked bell pepper and a hint of tobacco, then this lovely tart apple juice sharpness cuts through. Mid-palate’s got that soft mustard and walnuts thing going on, with a whisper of truffle oil—so posh 😂 Finish is long, candied lemon lingering, and that clay-like dryness balances everything out. No water needed, it’s already spot on. Adore it.

A lovely pour, that. Pale gold in the glass, and the first sip hits with this peppery kick and a touch of cooked bell pepper, almost like a veggie stir-fry in the background. There’s a proper earthiness too, damp soil and clay, which makes me think of autumn walks. The green walnuts and soft mustard give it a bitter edge, but in a good way, like the combo just clicks. Candied lemon and tart apple juice brighten it up, while tobacco and truffle oil sneak in some smoky, funky depth. Long finish, smooth and oily, almost like that rich side of Dailuaine. The PX seco from Malaga adds a whisper of sweetness, tying it all together. Honestly, the way everything balances – it’s like a Picasso painting in a glass, if you ask me. Perfect harmony. 🥃🌰

Pale gold in the glass, this dram really does feel like a painter got hold of it. You get that soft mustard and green walnuts first, very savoury, then a wave of cooked bell pepper and a drop of cider vinegar tartness that just... works. It’s got this lovely damp earth, clay note underneath. Not olive oil at all, more like a hint of truffle oil and tobacco leaf. The Malaga sweetness and candied lemon come through beautifully in the long, long finish. Really adore it 🍂 And honestly, those finishes... 👏 The combination is just perfect.
