Had a dram that reminded me of a dash of honey mixed with nougat, a touch of vineyard peach peeking through. The aroma was stunningly pure, all on citrus, like mandarin reigns supreme – practically pure mandarin juice with a hint of cassata. It felt fresh, not outrageously complex, a pleasant change from the usual. Think white beer meets fruity beer, maybe an IPA with a heavily mandarin‑forward hop, straw‑coloured and light. Smitten by the honeyed finish. 🍊

Just cracked open this bonkers little number and blimey, the mandarin hits you like a sunlit orchard! It’s all on citrus upfront – pure mandarin juice vibes with a hefty hop punch, but somehow it stays fresh and not too mental. The aroma’s proper clean, like squeezing a load of candied fruits into a glass of white beer. Got this Corsican thing going on, reminds me of vineyard peaches and those stripy nougat sweets from the seaside. The IPA’s heavily mandarin-forward, but not outrageously complex – just a smooth, long finish that’s a nice change from your usual dram. Proper smitten with how it balances sweet and hoppy, like a cassata sundae in liquid form. 🍻✨

Bit different this time – the waxy notes are there but slightly less dominant, more of a waxed canvass impression than a candle. Still quite complex though. First thing I get is a mix of straw and something greener, like crushed herbs. Then comes this sweet, juicy burst – pineapple jelly with a hint of bergamot, almost like a fancy herbal tea. There's a faint touch of face cream and pollens floating around too. The middle is more direct than I expected, with a nice white pepper kick that builds up. Feels medium in body, but the flavors are magnified somehow – especially that waxiness coming back stronger with a bit of tree bark dryness. Finishes with a whisper of mint tea and dried fruits, keeping it fresh. Quite charismatic, really – modern Speyside with a cheeky wink. 🥃

Oh wow, this is absolutely lovely 🍊 First thing that hits you is this gorgeous mandarin note - like someone's squeezed fresh mandarins right into the glass. Reminds me of that Corsican mandarin liqueur you get on holiday, so pure and clean. Got this lovely honey sweetness coming through too, almost like nougat or candied fruits. There's a freshness about it that makes me think of a good white beer on a sunny afternoon. Not too heavy, not too complicated - just really pleasant. The finish goes on for ages honestly, that mandarin just hangs around beautifully. Kind of reminds me of those fancy IPAs with the citrus-forward hops, but smoother. Not outrageously complex but that's part of the charm isn't it? Sometimes you just want something that does one thing really well, and this one's got that mandarin character absolutely nailed. 😊 Definitely smitten with this one, a real pleasant change from my usual drams.

Blimey, this one's absolutely bonkers! First sip, it's like practically pure mandarin juice with a dash of honey – so fresh and citrusy. 🍊 The mandarin really reigns supreme here, with hints of candied fruits and vineyard peach. Not outrageously complex, just all on citrus, which is a pleasant change. Reminds me of a fruity white beer or even an IPA, but with that long, warming finish. Got me smitten, honestly. Almost like sipping on mandarin liqueur in a Corsican vineyard. Cheers! 😊
