Just had a wee dram, young and feinty, medium bodied with a whisper of tar and salty brine, reminds me of a bicycle inner tube soaked in lemon drops. There's a fizzy 7up edge, a pure malt kick that’s unlike anything else, plus a dash of chemical sweetness and bizarre sweets, like dandelion salad with a hint of lemon juice. Feels a bit constrained but charming, wonderfully 'PE' vibe. 😊

Had a dram that reminded me of lemon drops and a hint of fish oil, quite salty with a dusty side. The lemon juice zing was pure but a bit imprecise, like a charming drop of 7up mixed with tarry brine. Finished with a slightly frustrating aftertaste, almost white and a bit like bicycle inner tube – bizarre sweets lingered. 😄

Just had a dram and it’s a proper oddball – young, medium strength and pure with a salty edge that makes me think of the sea. There’s a burst of lemon drops and some bizarre sweets that taste like a dandelion salad on a sunny afternoon, and a charming drop of buttery smoothness in the middle. A bit of tarry brine and a rubbery note sneak in – almost like a bicycle inner‑tube, oddly charming. The finish is a little fish‑oil slick and a slightly frustrating aftertaste, but overall it’s wonderfully “PE” and far from the usual Lagavulin vibe. 😊

Blimey, this one’s a proper oddball. Almost colourless, like a cheeky 7up with a splash of fish oil 😅 First hit’s all lemon drops and dandelion salad, then—bam—tar and rubber like a bike inner tube left in the sun. Salty, dusty, with a whiff of something chemical. Malt’s unlike anything else, but it’s a bit... constrained? Feels young, a touch feinty. Finishes with that tarry brine and a hint of butter, but the aftertaste’s a bit frustrating, like... well, you know. Still, charming in its own bizarre way.

这酒喝起来有点怪怪的。闻着先是一股化学味，像自行车内胎或焦油，还带点盐水的咸腥。口感中等，酒精度不高，但挺年轻的，有种feinty的杂味。 让我想起蒲公英沙拉和蔬菜，混着灰尘的感觉 😅 倒是有7up那种甜汽水味，但整体非常tarry，像焦油盐水。余味有点frustrating，不精确，像被打断的约会（coitus interruptus）。 不过，迷人的部分还是有的，比如那纯净的一滴。总体挺bizarre，salty和tarry brine的感觉很明显。
