Oh wow, this one’s got a real kick! Pale gold colour, right? 😄 First whiff is all herbal balm and camphor – very old-school medicinal, almost like a fancy cough syrup. Then it opens up into these fruity, tropical notes… like exotic fruits draped over smoky peat. The menthol and lemon thing is strong, kinda like crème de menthe mixed with limoncello? Properly mentholated. Got this lovely nice bitterness too, reminded me of fruit peels. A hint of butter tea lingers strangely in the background. Honestly, it’s giving me serious shades of those old South Islay bottlings from the 60s. The finish is long and complex. ✨

Just tried this whisky – it's got a real green tea vibe, like infused leaves. Buttery and creamy too, kinda like butter tea. Menthol and lemon hints make it refreshing, almost medicinal in a good way. Peaty and smoky, takes me back to those old-style smoky drams from decades past, with a maritime, briny touch. Herbs and exotic fruits mix with the peat. The finish is long and creamy, with a nice bitterness and a cough syrupy feel. Love the camphor and balm accents! 🍋😊

Pale gold in the glass, like a morning seaside glint. On the nose it’s all fruit peels and a strange, mentholated chill — almost camphor, maybe a ghost of crème de menthe. There’s a nice bitterness right away, proper medicinal, sort of maritime. A peated backbone that’s saltier than I expected, like brine on seaweed. The finish just hangs about, long and cool, with that fruity sweetness slowly fading under the herbs. Odd wee sip but I keep coming back to it 🌊

Lovely cosy dram 🥃 Bit of sweet malt, soft spice, and a gentle smoky warmth. Feels like a rainy evening by the fire, quite easy-going and comforting. A wee bit rich, but not too heavy.

Lovely warm dram 🥃 Bit of honey, soft spice, and a wee oaky dryness. Feels cosy, smooth-ish, with a gentle smoky tingle at the end. Nice for a quiet evening.
