Had a dram the other night that just hit different – proper old-school vibes, like a sherry cask that’d been hiding under a pile of autumn leaves and forgotten tea tins. First nose? Coffee and earth, but then these weird metallic notes crept in, reminded me of sniffing a box of old copper coins. The palate’s all leather and cardboard, but in a way that makes you think of malt extract dripping off a spoon. There’s raisins and dried dates doing a jig with some kirsch and Calvados, but it’s the almost monstrous depth that got me – like someone’d chucked a whole ex-solera butt into a walnut-stained cellar. Heavy, meaty, with this chalky, umami thing going on that’s hard to pin down. Tobacco and that dry coffee-schnapps kick lingered forever, while the finish whispered of pu-erh tea and a lost recipe scribbled in a penny book. Proper huge, like drinking history itself. Not sure if it’s slightly deviant or just brilliantly mad, but I’d neck another without hesitation. 🥃

Took a sip and immediately hit with this rich, almost chocolatey malt – reminds me of those artisanal bars you get in fancy shops. Then there's a walnutty depth, like old wooden furniture, but not overpowering. The sherry cask influence is strong, sweet but with a dry coffee bitterness underneath. Got a hint of tobacco and leather, like a vintage jacket. Oddly enough, there's this metallic tang, like old coins, which I can't quite place. The finish is long, earthy, with dried fruits and a touch of orange liqueur sweetness. Some piney notes come through, a bit too much for my liking, but the overall body is heavy and meaty. Almost like drinking through a fog of leaves and teas. There's a weird, slightly deviant malt twist that makes me think of a lost recipe from my granddad's time. The texture is on marrow, thick and coating. A tad too pine-y, but the umami and glutamate keep it grounded. Not sure if it's the pu-erh tea influence, but there's a dusty, cardboardy edge creeping in. Still, it's interesting – like a conversation with a old copper penny book. Smiley face, but maybe not my usual go-to.

Hada dram that smelled like a sherry cask full of prunes and dried fruit, with a whisper of geraniums and a hint of kirsch. The palate was huge, coffee‑laden, a touch of dry coffee‑schnapps and some artisanal chocolate. There's a slightly deviant malt note, almost like a pre‑Brexit malt whisky, with a tad too pine‑y edge and a whiff of Calvados. Finished with old copper coins, tobacco and a dirty fruitiness that lingered on the marrow. ☕️

Blimey, that’s a proper beast of a dram. Hits you with this massive wave of kirsch and dried dates, like some lost recipe from a dusty old cellar. There’s a whiff of Calvados and Armagnac lurking about, all rich and fruity but with a dirty edge—raisins soaked in orange liqueur, maybe? Bit of a piney tang, but in a good way. Long finish, proper sherry cask muscle, and that walnut stain note just lingers. Feels like sipping something pre-Brexit, if that makes sense. 🥃

Blimey, this one’s a proper beast—like sipping an old library mixed with a sherry-soaked Christmas pudding. Leather armchairs, prunes, and a whiff of tobacco smoke lingering in the air. Bit of a metallic tang, almost like licking an old copper penny, but then it’s all dark chocolate and dried dates rolling around. Long finish, proper long—like a chat with a mate who won’t shut up. Tad pine-y at first, but that dirty fruitiness and a hint of Armagnac warmth sort it out. Feels like a lost recipe, a bit deviant, but in a good way. 🍂
