Right, where do I even start with this one? 😅 First sip’s got this menthol hit – like sticking your nose in a jar of mint tea, but then there’s something almost like shoe polish in the background, fancy that. Bit of a whacky ride, really. The fruitcake comes through soft and light, all spiced up with caraway and a hint of paprika – not something you’d expect, but it works. Bloody brilliant combo, actually. Then there’s this curious smokiness that creeps in later, almost like smoked salmon and dill, which is a bit mad, but I’m here for it. And the finish? Long, with a touch of aniseed and verbena. Very beautiful indeed. Not everything sits perfectly together, but hell, it’s fun. Proper malt for adventurers, that’s for sure. Ooh yes.

Caught a whiff of this dram and thought, ooh yes, that's a long-forgotten bottle of genuine absinth vibes. Then the mandarins hit me, sweet and zesty, followed by a hint of mint-flavoured tea that's oddly refreshing. There's a High-end shoe polish note in there too, not sure if that's a good thing, but it's got this rather oily and earthy structure to it. The citron liqueur lingers, bright and tangy, but there's this spicy and aniseed kick that makes it more adventurous. Some honey sauce sweetness and a touch of pink peppercorns add a bit of depth. Not everything is well in place here, but that's part of the fun. Very beautiful and curious smokiness in the aftertaste, like Smoked salmon and dill meets wormwood. It's a malt whisky for adventurers, bold and not for the faint-hearted. Just a bit of fun! 🍷

Blimey, this one's a proper rollercoaster! First sip hits like a slap from a mentholated mango tree – sharp, sweet, and weirdly metallic. Then it's all smoke and mirrors, like someone set fire to a grandma’s cupboard and threw in some wormwood. The drying feeling lingers, but not in a bad way, more like a curious smokiness that makes you wanna cough up a High-end shoe polish tin. There's a hint of Honey sauce and mandarins in there, but it's quickly chased by a punch of pink peppercorns and paprika. Bit like sippin’ mint-flavoured tea after a curry! The oily and earthy structure's oddly comforting though, even if not everything is well in place here. Got a long, spicy kick that reminds me of a Malt whisky for adventurers – reckless, but sort of fun. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, but I'm oddly intrigued. 😏🍃

Just had a sip – first thing I get is this blast of menthol and pink peppercorns, like a minty gin and tonic crossed with a spice rack. 😮 Then it shifts to something warmer... honey sauce drizzled over mandarins, maybe. There’s this note that reminds me of grandma’s old wooden cupboard, a bit of caraway and verbena. Whacky is the right word, honestly. The middle is all over the place – a bit of high-end shoe polish, light fruitcake, and this weird, fun hint of long-forgotten absinthe. Not everything hangs together perfectly, but it’s fun trying to work it out. Finish is long, spicy, and definitely has that wormwood, Val-de-Travers vibe. Ooh yes.

刚倒一杯就闻到一股怪有意思的薄荷芒果香，还有点像奶奶那个老木柜子的味道。喝下去发现口感倒是挺厚实的，有点油润的泥土感，然后突然蹦出粉红胡椒和茴香的气息。 哦对了，中段隐约有烟熏三文鱼配莳萝的感觉，还夹着些草本和辣椒粉的暖意。最妙的是那股若有若无的薄荷茶清凉感，让整杯酒变得很有趣。 收尾有点干涩，但留下的余味很长——先是蜂蜜酱的甜，接着居然冒出些老式苦艾酒和柑橘利口酒似的复杂回味，还带着点神秘的烟熏感。 整体喝起来确实挺快乐的，又古怪又迷人。
