Hada dram that felt like walking on wet beach pebbles after a storm, with a whiff of coal smoke and a touch of oily peat smoke rounding the edges. The palate threw up sharp citrus juices, lemon thyme and lime zest, then settled into a pretty intense and typical exotic fruitiness – think tropical fruit jellies drizzled with syrups. There’s a lingering metallic note, hints of hessian rags and old rope, and a drying finish that feels long and clean, like a proper IPA meets a 1960s style whisky. 🥃

Right, pour it and… whoa. That first sniff hits you with wet beach pebbles 🌊, flints sparking, and this acrid peat smoke—not the campfire kind, more like old rope burning on a windy shore. Then there’s the sharp citrus juices—lime zest cutting through, pithy rinds drying your mouth a bit. Oily texture, yeah, like fish oil but softened by syrups and tropical fruit jellies 🍋✨. A whisper of sheep wool and hessian rags, leathery and warm. Underneath, that gloopy medicines note—slightly metallic, anchovy paste in the back pocket—plus lemon thyme and resinous citrus hanging around. IPA-like herbal resins, smoky but clean in a weird way. Pretty brilliant, honestly. Not crazy, just solid, old-school, and full of that 60s grit. 🥃

Just poured a dram and the first thing I notice is that clean, gold‑glinting look, then straight away a burst of sharp citrus juices – lime zest and pithy orange rind smack the palate. There's a nice resinous citrus note that sits alongside some big herbal resins and a hint of lemon thyme, almost like hitting a hop‑laden IPA after a walk on wet beach pebbles. Mid‑way in, the texture gets oily, almost like old rope or sheepskin, and a full‑bodied peat smoke comes through, a bit acrid but balanced by sweet tropical fruit jellies and a dollop of mango puree. I get a metallic edge, like flints striking, and a faint hint of coal smoke and tar that makes the whole thing feel like an old sailor’s rope‑bag full of herbs. There's a subtle leathery, medicinal side too – think gentle old medicines and a touch of anchovy paste, oddly comforting. The finish is long, dry, with a mineral, beach‑pebble feel and a whisper of lime zest that lingers. All in all, a pretty intense, straightforward whisky that makes me think of a 1960s seaside tavern. 🌊🥃

Amber gold in the glass, just cracked open this old island dram last night, proper hits that 1960s style spot on 👌 Smells straight off: wet beach pebbles, hessian rags, a bit of old rope, even a cheeky hint of hops like a cold IPA, y’know? First sip: full of textural peat, oily and rich, acrid peat smoke rolling in, then that pretty intense and typical exotic fruitiness — tropical fruit jellies, mango puree, sharp citrus juices, lime zest and lemon thyme all popping up. There’s gloopy old medicine notes, gentle, big herbal resins, whiffs of tar and flints, a bit of leathery, metallic edge, coal smoke lingering in the back. Finish is long, clean, drying with beach pebbles and pithy citrus rinds, resinous citrus hanging around. Pretty brilliant whisky, not as wild or out there as some of the other casks in this series, but still superbly balanced. That oily peat smoke sticks to your palate for ages, honestly such a solid, straightforward dram 🤌

This one’s got a lovely golden glow, like honey catching the light. The nose is all syrupy sweetness mixed with lemon thyme and that sharp citrus bite, but there’s something deeper too—old medicines and hessian rags, like rummaging through a dusty apothecary. On the palate, it’s straightforward but full of life: acrid peat smoke hits first, then wet beach pebbles and flints give it a mineral edge. The texture’s thick, almost gloopy, with oily peat clinging to the sides. Leathery notes and sheep wool drift in, weirdly comforting, while lime zest and hops keep it bright. It’s got that 1960s vibe—tar and tropical fruit jellies tangled up, like a proper old-school dram. Long, resinous finish with a touch of drying herbs. Proper brilliant stuff, if you ask me 🥃✨
