Sipping this on a lazy afternoon, I kept getting hit by green melons and a bit of broken‑branch vibe, like stepping through a damp orchard. There's a subtle chives note that sneaks in, almost like a whisper of fresh herb, then the sweet marzipan comes along and softens everything. It feels pretty thick indeed, with a waxier mouthfeel that’s oddly comforting – think a dollop of hazelnut oil swirling around. A hint of white wine acidity cuts through the grassy fatness, and the greengages and gooseberries pop up like tiny green fireworks. The texture is pretty sublime, almost like a large spoonful of olive oil coating the palate, while a faint bark and rhubarb edge keep it from getting too sweet. All in all, very good indeed, with a lingering, rather long after‑taste that keeps me sipping incognito. 😊

Took a sip and immediately hit with this thick, almost oily mouthfeel, like a large spoonful of sunflower oil mixed with something waxy. There's a nutty edge, hazelnut oil and marzipan dancing around, but then this grassy fatness creeps in, herbal and a bit wild. The fruit side’s got white wine and grapefruits upfront, but underneath, greengages and gooseberries tartness, maybe even a hint of rhubarb sharpness. It’s got this bark-like depth, reminds me of broken branches and branche-y textures, not sure how else to put it. The finish is rather long, leaves this creamy, malt lover’s vibe on the tongue. Sublime texture, pretty thick indeed, almost chewy. Very good indeed, but feels like it’s hiding something incognito beneath all that richness. Weirdly satisfying, like a garden after rain. 🥃

Just had a dram that’s really rather satisfying, this one. The texture’s sublime, quite thick indeed, with a sort of broken branches earthiness that’s hard to pin down. There’s a grassy fatness upfront, like crushed chives and green melons, then something incognito—maybe rhubarb or gooseberries—lingering in the background. The finish is waxier, almost bark-like, with a whisper of marzipan sweetness. Very good indeed, and the way it sits on the tongue is pretty thick, very malt-forward. Reminds me of white wine left in the sun, but with more depth. A proper sipper, this. 🥃

Right, so I poured myself a dram tonight and honestly, it's got this lovely branche-y, almost bark-like thing going on at first. Then it opens up into these green gooseberries and greengages, almost like walking past a hedgerow in summer. There's a waxier texture than I expected, quite fat and thick on the tongue actually. Reminds me a bit of white wine but richer somehow. 🌿 Getting some grapefruit and rhubarb sharpness cutting through, with a hint of sunflower seed oil and hazelnut oil - that kind of nutty richness, you know? Like a really good olive oil but in whisky form. A touch of grassy chives comes through too, and then this marzipan sweetness sneaks up on the finish. Rather long as well, just keeps going. Not bad at all for a Tuesday evening. Very good indeed. 😌

First sip is proper thick, like a large spoonful of olive oil. Very fat and grassy at the same time, reminds me of green melons and greengages. Marzipan sweetness comes through, mixed with grapefruit pith and gooseberry tartness. Really lovely texture, quite waxier than expected. Hints of chives and sunflower seeds in there, a bit incognito. The finish? Rather long. Leaves a taste of broken branches and bark, with hazelnut oil. Very good indeed. 🥃
