Had a dram after work, quite young but surprisingly long on the finish. It started with bright orange and peach notes, like a bowl of fresh nectarines and a bit of orange zest. Mid‑palate the cornflake‑like bite and a hint of thyme tea came through, then a caraway‑y spice that made it a touch spicier than I'd expect. There was a mellow caramel and butterscotch vibe, a whisper of aniseed, and a subtle milk‑chocolate richness that reminded me of a kougelhopf with jam. A faint applejack note and a warm amber glow lingered, and the finish reminded me of modern Cognac – smooth but with a hint of rye that felt a little too much. All in all, a very good, moderately spicy dram that pairs nicely with a few pastries. 😊

这杯的颜色真漂亮，是那种温暖的琥珀色。闻起来特别柔和，有种经典波本威士忌那种香草蛋糕的甜香，还混着些桃子和杏子的果酱味。🍊 有时候会让我想起现代干邑的影子，但整体又很年轻有活力。酒体不算厚重，葛缕子的香料感若隐若现，有点像在吃香料蛋糕。 滴几滴水进去，它立刻就散开了，变得更柔顺。现在蜂蜜和焦糖的甜味更明显了，还飘着一点点香料茶的气息。🍯 回味挺长的，嘴里还留着淡淡的烤蛋糕和水果干的味道。总的来说是一杯让人很放松的酒，适合慢慢喝。

Right then, gave this a proper nosing. Straight away, I get a lovely whiff of honey and oranges, like a sunny marmalade. Then it’s all sweet caramel and soft vanilla, almost like a fancy spice cake has been left in the glass. A touch of that milky chocolate comes through too. On the tongue, it’s surprisingly soft. Think of those cornflakes with a bit of brown sugar, then some stewed peaches and a hint of butterscotch. There’s a gentle spice there, nothing too fiery, and it has this quality that reminds me of a younger take on something quite classic. Fascinatingly, it has this slightly doughy, kougelhopf-y thing, but with a wisp of something savoury like caraway right at the back. Doesn’t taste rough at all, though. You can tell it’s a mature product with a good backbone. It just begs for a drop of water, honestly. 💧 A few drops and it blossoms, opens up beautifully. The fruit gets brighter, the spices soften, and that lovely, softer ryeness and honey really shine. Absolutely cracking. 👍

Had a glass of this one last night – it was quite nice! 😊 Nose straight up peaches and oranges, with a caraway-y kick and hints of aniseed. Very young amber colour. Takes water extremely well, I added a few drops and it opened up with softer ryeness. Got many pastries, kougelhopf, and cornflakes, plus butterscotch and caramel. Moderately spicy on the palate, with peppered oranges and applejack. I'm getting honey, nectarines, and milk chocolate. There's a touch of thyme tea and some jams too. Much spicier on your palate than I expected. Finish is rather long, with ideas of modern Cognac and touches of natural rubber. Overall, very good – reminds me of a classic soft vanilla-ed cake-y bourbon-style American whiskey, but not too much rye. Mature product indeed. 🥃

Warm and cosy dram 🥃 I get a bit of honey, soft oak, and a wee touch of spice. Feels smooth, with a gentle smoky edge and a sweet finish. Quite easy to sip on a chilly evening.
