Mate, cracked this open last night and honestly? Loved the nose straight away 🥃 First you get bright blood oranges, then fresh geranium stem and violety notes, next the full sherry Port Mourant depth rolls in, all warm and rich with Guyana rum and cognac-adjacent vibes. Thing is, the palate is simply flawed mind — you get this massive very soapy barrage outta nowhere, plus cologne and olive oil tang, even heavy liquorice and pitch sticking around. The good bits are there too: Demerara sugar, sugar cane sweetness, crunchy walnuts, red mahogany warmth, pink grapefruits zing right at the end, super long finish that just keeps going. It’s proper full whisky but that soapy bit is a bit of a weird turn off, still fun to sip though tbh

This dram hits you first with a proper soapy barrage, proper clean and almost a bit too much, but then the Demerara sugar comes through sweet and heavy, like molasses and licorice lozenges. There's a hint of pink grapefruit and blood orange zest cutting through, bright and sharp, which lifts the whole thing. Underneath, it's all rum and cognac vibes, rich and woody, with a touch of pitch and full sherry adding depth. The finish is long and warming, leaves you thinking of walnut shells and red mahogany furniture. Proper unusual, but in a way that keeps you coming back for another sip 🥃

Had a dram last night. Loved the nose – immediately hit by this wave of rich sherry sweetness, almost like cologne mixed with something floral, geranium stems maybe? Got a real cognac vibe from it too, with some Demerara sugar. Palate was interesting, a bit complex. Started with that whisky warmth, then some pine wood and a violety, old feeling. A long finish rolled in, bringing to mind Guyana and heavy rum notes. Gotta say, there was a very soapy, almost soapy barrage quality there that was... divisive, but underneath that, blood oranges and olive oil peeked through. Huge Port Mourant character, with a touch of pitch and walnuts. The pink grapefruits appeared with time in the glass. Left a lovely impression of red mahogany colour and taste in my mind. 🥃

Pours a lovely red mahogany colour, very inviting 🥃 First thing I get is this rich rum note, almost like fresh sugar cane with a bit of that Guyana character. Then comes this burst of pink grapefruits and blood oranges - quite zesty and fruity. There's something floral going on too, like geranium stems, which is a bit unusual but I quite like it. Walnuts come through as well, giving it a nice nutty depth underneath all that full sherry sweetness. The finish is proper long, just lingers and lingers 👌 Really enjoyable stuff, reminds me of sitting somewhere warm on a lazy afternoon.

Just had a dram that really made me think. The nose was quite interesting, a mix of something like violets and blood oranges, with a strong sense of old, polished wood. 🍊 Took a sip and, crikey, the palate was a wave of rich, almost syrupy Demerara sugar and a very distinct, heavy note that I can only describe as "soapy." It was a bit confronting, honestly. There was also a bit of olive oil slickness and some dark walnut bitterness underneath. The finish was long, lingering with that soapy note and a hint of something resinous, like pine wood. An unusual, full-bodied drop that’s certainly not boring.
