Pale gold in the tumbler, softer than I thought it’d be. Straight off the nose I get fresh apples and a whisper of apple peels, then a warm swirl of Nutella and soft honeys. On the palate it’s round and compote‑y – plums, stewed peaches, a dab of green tomato jam – with a soft praline finish. There’s a greenish tannic oakiness that adds a bit of grip, but the feel stays rounder and very good. A hint of hay and a slightly dissonant edge keep me guessing, yet it all works together nicely. 🥃

Firstsip brings stewed peaches and soft honeys, then a hint of green tomato jam and fresh almonds. There’s a little sour edge, like unripe fruits, with a rounder, custard‑like feel and a touch of hay. Feels a bit dissonant but somehow works 😊

This malt’s got a pale gold hue and a rather medium weight in the glass. First sip hits with Nutella richness and praline sweetness, but there’s something dissonant – like green tomato jam clashing with the softer honeyed notes. The oakiness leans greenish and tannic, giving it an almost hay-like dryness. Apples and stewed peaches float through, along with compote-y fruits, but it’s all a bit uncertain. Maybe needs more time? Still, it’s very good in its own odd way. 🥃

A pale gold dram, this one's got a bit of a dissonant character upfront—green tomato jam and unripe apples tumbling into stewed peaches and a compote-y mix of fruits. The nose is all hay and crisp orchard notes, but there's a greenish tannic oakiness that lingers like it's unsure what it wants to be. On the tongue, it's rounder than I expected, with praline sweetness and a custard-like softness, though a sharp streak of sourness cuts through, and somewhere in the back, a whisper of Nutella. The almond hints are fresh, not bitter, and it finishes softer than I thought, leaving me with that uncertain commercial edge. Not bad, mind, very good in its own way, but it’s like a memory that’s almost there but not quite. 🥃

Cheers for this one, mate 🥃 First whiff is like walking into an orchard — apple peels and fresh almonds right up front, with a bit of that hay smell in the background. Takes me back to grandma’s kitchen, honestly. There’s stewed plums and this soft, round custard sweetness, kinda like Nutella but not as heavy. A little sour note pops up now and then, green tomato jam maybe? But it’s balanced by those soft honeys — it all feels rather medium and easygoing. Not the most complex dram, a bit commercial perhaps, but there’s this greenish tannic oakiness that gives it character. Reminds me of preserved peaches in syrup and unripe fruits left on the counter. Finish is soft, with praline and compote-y fruits lingering. 😊 Simple, round, and kinda uncertain at first — but it grows on ya.
