Honestly this one’s a bit of a weird one innit 🥃 Doesn’t quite feel 36, more like a mid-range dram that’s just cruised along quietly for ages, matured in ex-refill wood so it’s not all punchy. First you get that pale gold colour, then bright and fresh dill, crisp apples, tiny fruits, pink bananas and white peaches, a little not-too-ripe pineapple and a hint of melon tucked in there too. There’s a real freshness to it, less loud and clear, soft, plus that mineral side, a whiff of linseed oil and paraffin like you get from very old whiskies. A little lemongrass zing peeks through too, and you can tell there’s a bit of Irishness hiding in there, weirdly, with that clay and verbena edge. It’s medium weight, not the most stunning part of any lineup if I’m being honest, but there’s that depressive vintage vibe that’s strangely charming. Feels like it’ll properly unfold over the years, y’know? There’s a tiny touch of plasticine and patchouli right at the end too, odd but not off at all. Oh and if you listen close you get that spirit talk thing, like the whisky’s telling you a quiet little story 🥴

Blimey, this dram’s just such a treat, honestly 🤭 It’s that lovely pale gold in the glass first, right? Nosing it’s all shy and delicate at first – tiny bits of melon, not-too-ripe pineapples, white peaches, even those pink bananas popping up a touch. There’s that lemongrass and dill freshenss too, plus a whiff of linseed oil and plasticine from the very old ex-refill wood it sat in. Taste is medium, doesn’t quite feel like a 36yo at all, the freshness is totally impressive! You get that mineral side, green tea, tiny fruits and herbs, a little hint of Irishness and crisp apples, plus that subtle patchouli and verbena lift. Perhaps not the most stunning part of the lineup but so easy to sip and enjoy, proper lovely stuff 👌

Pale gold in the glass, this one’s got a proper mineral side to it, like licking a stone wall after rain. The nose opens with this shy and delicate mix—verbena and lemongrass dancing with fresh herbs, almost like a summer garden. There’s a touch of clay and linseed oil lurking underneath, weirdly comforting, like old books or something. Tastes bright and fresh, melons and white peaches upfront, then it shifts to green tea and dill, proper strange but lovely. The ex-refill wood must’ve done its job, cos there’s this quiet depth, like very old whiskies but not too heavy. Apples and a hint of paraffin linger on the finish, medium-length, while the Irishness pokes through in the background, all soft and mossy. 🍃

这酒喝起来感觉不太像是36年那么老 🤔，没想到这么清淡，口感算是中等吧。 有种很明显的矿物味，和一点点柠檬草的味道，清清楚楚却又不算太过吵闹。 让我想起一些新鲜水果，像苹果和不太熟的菠萝，以及白色桃子🍑。 还有一种很特别的香料味，像是 patchouli 和 verbena 混在一起。 茶味上倒是有一点绿茶的影子，但整体还是很平衡的。 感觉像是装过威士忌的旧橡木桶带来的那种，旧旧的木头味道。 我觉得有些地方可能不是最出彩的部分，但整体的清新感倒是真的很惊艳！ 🌟 这味道让我有点联想到黏土和亚麻油，以及一两样很淡的草本植物，塑料味和石蜡味有一点，但不算明显。 总的来说，这是一杯很好喝的酒，值得慢慢品尝。

刚倒出来那会儿，闻着是那种清亮的新鲜感，但仔细一闻又觉得没那么直白。有点香草和青苹果的清香，混着一点柠檬草的纤细，像春天刚长出来的嫩叶。 喝起来挺柔和的，没什么攻击性。舌尖先尝到一点青香蕉和没太熟透的菠萝的酸甜，接着有种抹茶粉混着陶土的质感，慢慢化开。后面飘出来一点檀香和旧书本的味道，不张扬但挺持久。 杯底留着点矿物感，还有些像亚麻籽油那样的油脂香气。整体不算惊艳，但那种新鲜和细腻的平衡感真的很舒服。温温柔柔的，适合傍晚安静的时候慢慢喝。
