Just poured a dram, looks full gold in the glass, a hint of polish on the rim. First sniff brings broken branches and stems, a whiff of herbal teas and a touch of bean curd – oddly comforting. On the palate there’s fruitiness discreet, like toffee apple and orange peel, with green bananas and banana skin adding a sappy edge. A bit of pine resin and resinous feel, plus a splash of rooibos and hawthorn, almost like sitting among old books and papers, old furniture, fabric. The tannicity hasn't won the war, it’s tidy, not excessive. Aftertaste remains rather fresh, with a whisper of candyfloss and a putty and oil paint note, finishing with a little miracle of moshi and hibiscus. Welcome to the fair! 🥃🍎🍊🍌

A wee dram that’s like a walk through an old library on a spring morning. There’s something green bananas and thyme about it—like fresh herbs crushed underfoot. It’s polish-smooth but with a bean curd softness in the middle, not heavy at all. The fabric of it feels herbal, maybe a hint of rooibos or moshi lingering in the background. Peelings and juices tango on the tongue, sweet but not candyfloss cloying. Tannic, sure, but “tannicity hasn’t won the war” here—there’s still fight in the stems and hawthorn sharpness. Orange peel and toffee apple dance together, neater than you’d expect. The finish? Mentholy freshness with a resinous kick, like licking an old books and papers shelf. Fruitiness discreet, no excess, just a tidy, complex sip. Pips of banana skin and green apples pop up, fair and unpretentious. A little miracle in a glass 🥃

刚一尝，唔…这杯有点意思。第一下是老式油画颜料和油灰的混合气味，接着飘出些干果皮和淡淡的茶感，像在旧书堆里翻到一朵干花。 酒体其实不算厚，但那种湿润的果汁感和果核微微的涩味很和谐。🌲松木树脂的清冽一闪而过，随即是太妃苹果糖的甜暖，裹着点花草茶的草本气。 最妙的是收尾——清凉得像薄荷擦过喉咙，留下点豆腐般的绵密和红茶渣的余韵。整体很整洁，没有多余的张扬，却让人想起热闹集市的糖果摊位🎪。喝完杯底还有淡淡的花果香在打转。

First thing I get is this old furniture sort of vibe, like walking into a library. Then there’s some green banana and a touch of toffee apple, but not too sweet, really. It’s got a sappy, pine resin thing going on that turns into these herbal teas, all quite tidy and neat. Feels full gold in the glass. The finish is fresh, maybe a bit like banana skin and bean curd? A little complex but not trying too hard, just a quiet kind of miracle. 📖

Right, first sip... Crikey, that’s got a bit of kick, but in a good way. I’m gettin’ some sweet vanilla and baked apple right up front 🍎. Then it shifts, you know? A little hint of old leather and a whisper of tobacco leaf. The finish is lovely and warm, with a touch of spice like clove or cinnamon, and then... oh, a wisp of gentle smoke. Proper autumn evening dram, this. Might be a touch of orange peel in there too? And summat slightly floral. Bloody lovely, really. Smashing stuff. 😌
