Quite an unusual one this, honestly. First thing I got was this grassy, almost herbal thing, a bit like green tea but with more going on. Then it opened up into these fruity notes — kinda like a mix of watermelon and freshly squeezed oranges, with a bit of grenadine and cranberry juice thrown in. Really funnily fruity actually 😄 There's a nice zesty vibrancy to it, feels very interesting on the palate. A hint of white wine character too, which caught me off guard. Mid-palate I'm getting some violet sweets and a touch of pepper, maybe even a bit of that graphite oil thing... reminds me slightly of carbon paper, if that makes sense? Finish is medium long with a slightly acrid edge, not unpleasant though. Just adds a bit of character really. Overall quite different from what I'd normally reach for, but genuinely enjoyable. Would happily have another dram on a quiet evening 🥃

Had a dram of this one tonight – quite the entertaining malt! 🥃 Nose is creamy and zesty, like someone mixed cranberry juice with a splash of white wine and a drop of grenadine. There's watermelon in there too, and just a tiny hint of pepper. Taste-wise, it’s got a tea-like quality, maybe grassier than expected. The aftertaste is medium long, with cranberries coming through, but also something a bit acrid... like fresh carbon paper or graphite oil? Oddly fun. Also getting freshly squeezed oranges – wait, no, more like orange zest, or even those violet sweets. Such vibrancy! Really unusual and funnily fruity. Finish brings back that pumpernickel bread note I sometimes get. Very interesting stuff. 🍊🍬

Poured myself a glass and oh blimey, that’s properly wacky. First thing I got was this thick, almost rye bread – you know, pumpernickel – and then a kick of black pepper right on the tongue. Then it just sort of… exploded into this zesty, funnily fruity thing? Like someone smashed a watermelon into a glass of cranberry juice, but then dribbled in some grenadine and squeezed a bunch of fresh oranges over the top. Proper vibrant stuff. There’s a creamy, almost tea-like smoothness in the middle that just suddenly pulls back into this weirdly specific finish. Kinda like… well, like sniffing a graphite pencil or a bit of oil from a can. Oddly entertaining, I’ll give it that. Like a whisky that doesn’t want to be boring. 😄 The aftertaste lingers a medium-long while, and right at the very end, there’s this sharp, grassy note that just catches in the throat. Not bad, just… acrid? Like a fresh herb almost. Wild ride from start to finish, this one. Proper unusual malt. 🥃

this one's very interesting. the first sip gives me a real kick of freshly squeezed oranges and a hint of pepper, but then it softens into this funnily fruity vibe, like cranberry juice mixed with a bit of watermelon. 😊 the aftertaste is something else though... kinda creamy but then you get this wiff of graphite oil and carbon paper? strangely, it makes me think of old-school office vibes. there's a zesty edge that keeps it vibrant, and maybe just a touch of grenadine sweetness trying to balance it out.
