Blimey, this dram’s an absolute belter 🥃 Nosing it first you get those pressed wildflowers, toasted pine cones and a little ashy tickle right off the bat First sip’s 43% but it’s pure, oily and smooth, no harshness at all Flavour’s broad, complex and layered but chiselled and direct, no fancy tricks, just straightforward proper whisky Peppery peaty quality that’s so big it wraps roun your tongue like a peaty blanket, quilts the palate real nice Got that briny sardines in brine kick, cured game meats, old medicinal liqueurs sort of depth, plus zingy preserved lemons and lime oils cutting through Pink sea salt pops up, tar resins in the back, boggy earthy notes too, even a little fat mouthfeel that’s lush Finishes short and sweet but also long enough to leave you reaching for another sip, very expressive, reminds you of those proper old 1970s vintages, that classic old school Islay vibe without being OTT 🤌

Just had a dram that whispered lemon zest and a hint of yellow melon, with a peppery kick that lingered like seaweed at low tide. A touch of wet newspapers and ashes gave it a rustic edge, while the peat stayed in the background, never intruding. Felt almost like swallowing a small oyster, with ink‑y depth and a sleek, precise finish. Cheers to the third millennium vibe 🥃

Blimey, this dram’s properly chiselled and direct 😮 一上来就是 beautifully sharp 的 peppery peaty quality，带点 ashy 的烟熏底，peat feels really big 简直裹满整个上颚。 回味里还能摸到 preserved lemons 的酸、cured game meats 的咸鲜，还有点 German smoked beers 和 cooked artichoke 的闷香？尾韵带点 briny 的海盐味，像刚舔过 pink sea salt 似的，还有点 old medicinal liqueurs 的药感，short and sweet 太顺了 🥃

Pale gold colour in the glass – invites you right in. 👀 Nose gets lemon zest and something herbaceous, with that petrol-like Riesling character and a whiff of ink. Sleek and precise from the start. Sipping now, peppery kick that grows – the dials seem to be turned up now. Impact of just three extra degrees on the palate is astonishing; it gives this impression of having just swallowed a small oyster, like seaweed at low tide. Peat never intrudes, keeps it clean. Aftertaste is rather long, with ashes and hints of yellow melon that linger. Almost whispering its depths. Slightly rustic touch creeps in. Reminds me a bit of Ribeauvillé in spirit. Could celebrate the arrival of the third millennium in style with a dram like this – just watch out, it can send you ad patres without warning if you're not careful! 😅

Blimey, this one is a proper beast. 🥃 Absolutely wonderfully peaty, feels like a heavy blanket over everything. Got these weird but lovely notes of old medicinal liqueurs and some sort of precious ointments... reminds me of those old 70s and 80s vintages. Bit of pink sea salt and sardines in brine, very briny indeed. Then it shifts into something beautifuly fragrant—pressed wildflowers and smoked lavender. 🌿 Properly oily and fat, just quilts the palate. Finished with a bit of lime oil and toasted pine cones. Absolute cracker! ✨
