Just had a dram that reminded me of a Five O'clock tea table – shortbread, scones and cakes at a lady's tea party, with a whisper of earl grey and bergamot. The barley base gave a soft, woody spice feel, cinnamon curling through like old wood and time. A tad delicate, almost fragile, with pollen and beeswax drifting in, plus a mocha-spoon of yogurt creaminess and hints of orange. Finished it off with a splash of rum, leaving a medium finish that felt glorious, like old glory still had a few moves left, though after the gorgeous old 8 it got a little tough. 🍯

Just poured a dram and instantly got hints of oranges and a whisper of earl grey bergamot, like sitting at a lady's tea party with scones and cakes. The palate will tell you it's gold‑coloured, a tad delicate, with fresh butter and shortbread notes, a touch of cinnamon and beeswax. There's that old wood and time feeling, a bit fragile, like the whisky’s been wandering off the road but still has old glory left. Finish is medium, warm, and leaves a glorious feeling – almost like a Five O'clock tea with pollen and gorse in the air. 🍂

Ipoured a dram and saw a gold colour, smelled fresh butter and beeswax with hints of oranges and a touch of flowers. The palate will tell you it's delicate but not too fragile, like shortbread and brioche flavoured with orange blossom water, with a fresh if not totally vibrant feel. There were real small bananas, bananas yet again, and a note of very old malts, old wood and time, giving a medium finish, with a good bottlers character. It felt a glorious feeling, though a little tough after the gorgeous old 8, reminding me of scones and cakes at a lady's tea party and a barley background. 🥃

Just tried this – the aromas hit me with earl grey and a touch of rum. 🍵 Got beeswax and bergamots upfront, then real small bananas and hints of oranges. It's like sipping many herbal teas, almost wulong teas style. Palate is a bit tough after that gorgeous old 8, but there's a fresh floral thing – flowers and cinnamon notes. 🌸 Wouldn't have tried to finish it in one go; it's delicate, with a gold hue and gorse herbal edge. Glorious feeling though, even if fragile. The good bottlers really captured the old malts essence. 😊

Had a dram at five‑o’clock tea and it gave me a glorious feeling – the nose opened with fresh flowers and a waft of pollen, a hint of orange and a whisper of old wood. On the palate it was a tad delicate, almost fragile, like a brioche flavoured with orange blossom water and a bite of shortbread. There was a soft rum‑like warmth in the background, a faint mocha‑spoon of yoghurt and a note of many herbal teas, Wulong tea style. The finish was medium, a little tough after the gorgeous old 8 I’d had earlier, but still fresh if not totally vibrant. It felt like the old 8 went off the road and found its way back to the garden 😊
