Firstnose: menthol from the cask, a splash of limoncello and touches of camphor – fresh and a bit odd. On the tongue it’s medium bodied, spirit remains a little thin, with straw, grassier grass and a touch of earthier humus. Honey drops in, then a few drops of coconut liqueur and notes of high-column rum that feel a bit Bacardi‑style. A hint of glues and scotch tape lingers before a minty, almost deadly finish. Still young at 63.2%, it’s a perfect combination of bright and weird – like olive oil on a warm day. 🌿

Grassy nose with straw and a touch of honey, then orange zest and a hint of olive oil. Feels a bit thin but the citrus lifts it, finishing with a light limoncello note. 🍊

This one's a bit of a surprise, really very nice but with a kick that’s deadly at 63.2%. There’s a sharp, almost scotch tape-like edge upfront, but it’s balanced by a lovely citrus twist – oranges and limoncello dancing together. The menthol from the cask gives it a cool, herbal lift, while touches of camphor and earthier notes keep it grounded. It’s still young, mind you, but that makes it grassier and more lively than your typical malts. Grains often get overlooked, but this has a perfect combination of honey sweetness and a touch of Bacardi-style rum character. The spirit remains a little thin, though, and there’s a hint of washer fluid in the background – not unpleasant, just… different. If you’re a malt purist, you might find it rather grain for your taste, but I reckon it’s a cracking dram for those who like their whisky with a bit of bite 🥃

Took a sip and immediately got hit with this hot vinyl and plastic upfront punch – proper harsh, makes me think of melted prit stick glue mixed with acetone. The nose is all over the place, like someone's dumped a load of pencil shavings, damp grains, and burnt sugar into a cardboard box. On the tongue, it's spiritous and sour cardboard, weaving between bitter and sweet, which is just weird. There's this strange foam banana sweetness clinging to the sides, but it’s more plastic than anything. The finish is dusty and lingering, with hints of freshly laundered cloth and gym socks – not a fan of this, to be honest. Needs way more time in the cask, this feels like it's barely left the distillery. 🔥 Not my cup of tea, really.

Gah! That first sip hits like acetone and damp cardboard. There's this weird mix of raw green pepper and burnt sugar, with a plastic-y edge that just won't quit. Dilution helps a bit, but it's still all over the place—bitter, sweet, dusty. Feels like it needs years in a proper cask to sort itself out. Not my cup of tea at all. 😬
