Just swigged it and got a soapy, paint‑fresh start, then earthy roots and a huge bag of cut grass, a fern‑y, mushroom vibe, salty turnip punch and a zesty lemon peel hint. It's a bit oily, a bit putty, even rounder than I expected, and leaves a gold‑rich, more‑salt finish. 🍻

Honestly this one’s a proper Marmite pour, no easy dram at all innit? 🤨 Nose first hits you with that huge bag of cut grass, faint soapiness, fresh paint, a tad of Barbour grease, linseed, putty and even a weird whiff of lamp oils. It’s not an easy nose, proper earthy, full of leaves, roots and various herbs, even that rubbed lemon peel zing cutting through. Take a sip and it’s extreme proper dryness, rather salty at first, even more salt pops up halfway, tastes of turnips, mushrooms, strong green tea, even that faint wax note, little buttery bit hiding at the back. Total opposite of those modern sweet light oak-doped malts everyone’s knocking back lately. Drop a bit of water in and water sorts this out straight away, makes it much cleaner, even rounder, calms down the tad soapy edge just enough. Pleasantly challenging, not for everyone, but the finish is quite long with that green tea and fern linger. Proper gold colour too, looks deceivingly mellow before you try it 😂

Blimey, that’s a proper handful! Starts with a whiff of fresh paint and Barbour grease—like I’ve just walked into a shed full of old tools. Then bam, a huge wave of cut grass, almost like someone’s emptied a lawnmower bag in my glass 🌿 Bit soapy at first, but a splash of water sorts it out. Zesty lemon peel and a touch of butter come through, but it’s still earthy and a bit challenging. Not one to rush, this.

Right, first off, the nose is... well, it's quite something. Got this earthy, fern and roots thing, mixed with a whiff of fresh paint and even a hint of Barbour grease – definitely not an easy nose, if I'm honest. 🤔 Sipping it, wow, it's huge and very zesty, like rubbed lemon peel jumping out. There's a little buttery quality, but also notes of soap and wax, which makes it feel extreme. It's not for everyone, that's for sure. 🔥 But here's the trick: a tiny drop of water sorts this out, and it gets even rounder, much cleaner. Still, no easy dram – pleasantly challenging, with these strong green tea and leaves vibes coming through. Gold in colour, if you're curious. 😊

Blimey, this one’s a proper handful at first—like walking into a shed full of Barbour wax, fresh paint and a bucket of linseed oil. Nose is a right puzzle, soap and putty with a whiff of cut grass and damp earth, almost like someone’s been rubbing lemon peel on mushrooms. First sip’s a wallop—dry as a bone, salty as the North Sea, with a zesty kick that lingers. Turnips and ferns pop up, then a hint of buttery warmth before it all goes huge and herbal. Water tames it a bit, rounds it out, but it’s still not for the faint-hearted. Gold in the glass, but it’s the opposite of those sweet, easy malts. Proper old-school, this. 🌿
