Initially, it's like a mix of tropical fruit jellies and some old plastics from the garage – a weird but interesting combo. 🤔 A bit flabby on the palate, but then you get papayas, guavas, and a touch of oranges. There's this industrial chocolate note too, kinda like a Mars bar left in the sun. Gets a little salty towards the end, almost like a white wine vibe. I tried adding a drop of water, but honestly, it just kinda kills it. The finish is rather short, all things considered. Still, not bad for a casual sip.

Quite discreet at first, then it gets a bit more punch than others I’ve had lately. I get tropical fruits, guavas, a wee gluey note, and that soft grain whisky feel. Turns a touch salty, with a Mars bar sort of sweetness, though it finishes short and a tad flabby. Still, easy enough to sip 🙂

Bit of white wine and orange at first, then a soft papaya thing comes through. It’s got more punch than I expected, though there’s a wee gluey note hanging about. Turns a tad flabby after a sip or two, with that grain whisky feel and a faint industrial chocolate edge. Still quite easy-going tbh 🙂
