Honestly this is a proper bitter beast of a dram, and I mean that in the best way possible 😮‍💨 First thing that hits you is this bone dry oloroso vibe, like an extremely old solera cask that's been sitting about for decades. Loads of prunes and Smyrna raisins, with this wonderful sherry character that's not sweet at all, just deep and dry and gorgeous. Then you get the heavy mocha coffee notes coming through, almost coffee but with that artisanal coffee liqueur richness. Genuine chocolate and bitter chocolate sitting right alongside roasted nuts and bitter walnuts. There's this walnut wine quality to it, bordering walnut stain, if that makes sense lol. The bitter herbs and bitter saps give it this amazing grip, almost like pine-y oils and cloves mixed with black tobacco. Reminds me of forest soil after rain. There's a touch of sweet Vishnu in there too, just enough to balance things out. The finish is a glorious aftertaste, very long, full of nuts and resins. Proper old school stuff. The Anti-Maltoporn Brigade would probably have a field day with this but honestly it's just a wonderful bitter beast that rewards patience. One of those drams that makes you sit back and just go wow 🥃

Blimey, that’s a proper old beast—bone dry sherry up front, like licking a walnut stain off a barrel. Then comes the bitter herbs, black tobacco, and a whack of cloves. Almost coffee, but not quite—more like heavy mocha with a side of genuine chocolate. Prunes and Smyrna raisins lurk in the background, and the finish? Wow, long as a Sunday sermon. Chestnut honey sweetness just about saves it from being too brutal. Full of nuts, resins, and that forest soil funk. Proper stuff. 🥃

第一口是那种深沉的雪莉甜美，带着点老胡桃和黑巧的苦香，像在啃一块烤得微焦的坚果巧克力。慢慢能尝到类似陈年雪莉酒的风味，夹着一点点蜜饯和烟草的烟熏感。后劲很长，苦味里透着柠檬皮和草药的清爽，收尾有点像喝了一杯不加糖的浓咖啡，微微的涩，但很舒服。整体像个沉稳又复杂的怪兽，安静地在你嘴里待很久 🐾。

Blimey, that first sip just hits you with this massive wave of dry, nutty complexity. It’s like diving headfirst into a barrel of very old walnuts and Smyrna raisins, all soaked in this wonderful, dry sherry. 🍂 The bitterness is incredible – not harsh, but deep and satisfying, like the best bitter chocolate and those precious lemons squeezed over roasted nuts. Then this heavy mocha coffee and almost coffee-like note rolls in, backed up by what tastes like a very bitter orange liqueur. It’s a wonderful bitter beast, for sure. The finish just goes on forever. You’re left with the warmth of cloves, a hint of walnut wine, and this lingering taste of chestnut honey trying to sweeten up all that glorious, bitter dryness. Wow.

Just had a dram that was a proper grown-up sipper. First whiff hit me with this deep, almost savoury note—like a box of good black tobacco, but then it turns into this really bitter-sweet thing, hints of dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans. On the tongue it's bone dry, man. That Oloroso cask influence is everywhere, with walnuts and prunes and a sort of herby, almost pine-like oiliness. The finish is where it gets glorious. Just lingers with this heavy mocha coffee and bitter walnut thing, almost like a fantastic artisanal coffee liqueur but drier and more complex. Keeps evolving. Wow. It's a wonderful bitter beast, full of nuts and resins and these precious lemony sparks that cut through. Feeling this one for ages. 🥃
