Just poured a dram that took me straight to an old cigar box, a faint leathery peat and waxy anthracite vibe. Sweet quince jelly and pineapple syrup mingle with a whisper of rosewater, then a gentle spice and a glimmer of Springbank coastal vigour come through. It’s like sipping a warm herbal tea with honey, never dominating the palate. 😊

Had a dram tonight that reminded me of rosewater and precious waxes, with a whisper of tobacco and a light amber glow. First sniff gave jasmine tea and a hint of menthol resins, but I actually prefer the palate – sweetened herbal cough medicines, a touch of flambeed banana, and a spicy, supportive kick of black pepper. There’s a tiny leathery peat note lurking, like the oldest box of cigars, balanced by wood resins and a bit of Turkish delight. Finish is long, with fruit salad vibes, tropical fruit jellies and a good tannin grip. Overall a proper blend of herbs that never dominates, more bready than flashy, and I’m left smiling. 😊

This dram's got a lovely light amber glow, like the first light through a kitchen window. The nose? Proper complex – baked green fruits and a hint of rosewater dancing with something woodier, almost like old cigar boxes and precious waxes. Menthol resins and a touch of medical tinctures give it this strange but inviting herbal kick, like sweetened cough syrups your nan kept in the cabinet. First sip – wow, it's spicier than I expected, black pepper and quince jelly upfront, then this gorgeous fruit salad of mirabelle and sultanas coming through. The wood is perfect here, never dominates, just whispers of hardwood extracts and waxy anthracite. A tiny leathery peat note lingers in the background, like finding a old cigar in a dusty drawer. Mid-palate gets more bready, almost like Turkish delight soaked in exotic teas, with a long finish that’s utterly majestic. Hints of jasmine tea and cocktail bitters keep it interesting, while the tannins hold everything together beautifully. Finish? Pure majestic old Springbank – oaky, waxy, with a touch of ointment and crystallised dark exotic fruits. Proper sublime, this one. 🥃✨

This dram’s got a proper lush start – think sultanas and mirabelle dancing with tropical fruit jellies, that sweet-tart kick of quince jelly lingering like an old cocktail bitters dream. There’s a whisper of jasmine tea and precious teas in there, soft but there, like your gran’s best china cup. Then it shifts – a tiny leathery peat note sneaks in, not shouty, just enough to remind you there’s grit beneath the silk. The wood’s perfect, mind, all sharp-pointed spices and hardwood extracts, not a hint of harshness, just this glimmer of coastal vigour that’s pure magic. Long finish, too, with a waxy anthracite warmth and a faint ointment-like herbal trail that’s oddly comforting, like sweetened cough syrup after a long walk. Never dominates, just sits there, regal as an open box of ancient cigars, humming with raisins and Turkish delight sweetness. Utterly majestic, that’s what it is – proper sippin’ whisky. 🥃✨

Just had a dram and it's a proper delight. The colour's light amber, and the nose hits with a waxy anthracite vibe, a glimmer of Springbank coastal vigour – that tiny leathery peat note is spot on. On the palate, it's superb! with crystalised dark exotic glazed fruits and Turkish delight, plus a hint of rosewater and medical tinctures. More bready with baked green fruits, quince jelly, and a touch of mirabelle. The wood is perfect, giving hardwood extracts and wood resins, spicier with black pepper and cocktail bitters. There's a long finish of tropical fruit jellies, flambeed banana, and a sweetened herbal cough medicines note. Love the hibiscus, teas, and jasmine tea – really takes me back. Most sublime! 😋
