Oof, first sip hits like a peat bomb wrapped in butter—warm, smoky, but not in a boring way. Then lavender sneaks in, all floral and fancy, like someone’s chucked a posh hand cream in the glass. 😅 There’s this weird cardboard-like thing going on, but not in a bad way—just a bit wobbly, like the flavours are still figuring themselves out. A whiff of scotch tape? Yeah, I get that, but it’s not off-putting, just… oddly charming. Then the palate goes mental—caraway and capsicum dancing with chilli, like a spicy beer that’s had a smoke break. The finish lingers, pretty long, with that young Caol Ila peaty kick still hanging around. Not perfect, maybe a bit messy, but more than fine for a Tuesday night dram.

Got a dram that’s pretty peaty and young – it’s good but a bit wobbly on the finish. The nose hits whiffs of scotch tape and a faint hint of white wine, then the palate erupts with peat, butter and a splash of caraway. There’s a cardboard‑like note, almost a lot of cardboard, and a sneaky chilli bite that pops up. Everything’s happening on the palate, pretty long aftertaste, more than fine, though it may lack definition toward the end. Feels a bit like a strong beer with a touch of lavender – not an easy baby, but I’m enjoying it 😊

Right, first sniff is a punch of peat smoke – like a damp bonfire. There's something wobbly in there, not quite sorted yet, maybe a hint of young spirit. The taste is a bit of a rollercoaster. Get some great sides – a bit of butter, some lapsang souchong tea, even a whiff of lavender. But then there's this cardboard-like note that comes and goes, and a surprising chilli kick at the back. It's got a suety, chewy mouthfeel. Everything's happening on the palate at once, you know? It’s more than fine, pretty good even, but it’s not an easy baby. Some bits feel a touch undefined. The finish is pretty long, lingering with that peat and a curious capsicum warmth. 👍

pretty peaty on the nose, got a bit of that lapsang souchong smokiness mixed with some caraway seed. might remind you of white wine left on the counter for a bit. take a sip and there's a wobbly sort of mouthfeel. not perfectly blended maybe, but in an interesting way. there's this slow chilli heat that builds right at the back, and a weird hint of capsicum? like a green pepper note. 🌶️ finish is pretty good though, that peat sticks around and there's a floral hint of lavender right at the end. all in all, not a bad dram for a rainy night. 🥃

Came home to this one after work. Colour’s like pale honey. Smelt it and got a strange whiff of scotch tape mixed with lavender? Took a sip and—wow, it jumps right out at you. A lot of butter and caraway, something peppery (capsicum maybe?) right in the middle. Then more cardboard, like a lot of it, not just hints. It’s pretty peaty, no doubt about that. The finish is pretty long, holds on. Not the easiest drink, not an easy baby at all—kinda wobbly, a young Caol Ila vibe maybe? Some bits I really liked (the buttery spice), others not so much (that persistent cardboard). Everything’s happening on the palate at once. It’s good, more than fine honestly, but you gotta work for it a bit. Reminded me of a crisp white wine near the end, oddly. No real dirtiness, though. Interesting pour. 🤔
