Took a sip and immediately got hit with that menthol cigarette note, sharp but not overpowering. Then the fruit kicks in—melon, papaya—super sweet, almost like biting into a ripe peach. There's this weird graphite oil thing lingering, though, which gives it a bit of a metallic edge, but somehow it works. The body’s medium, not too heavy, and the vanilla and praline make it silky. But here’s the odd bit: hawthorn tea and this antiseptic undertone, like something from a childhood medicine cabinet. The finish is where it gets fun. Passion fruits keep singing in the aftertaste, bright and zingy, while the pencil shavings and fir bark notes remind me of walking through a woodshop. It’s like a old crossbreed between Cuban rum and a lighter Lowland dram—sweet, but grounded. Gold in the glass, perfect age here, though the complexity keeps you guessing. Not bad at all, just different 🥃.
