Had a dram that was pretty rough at first, but then the raspberries and oranges came through, with a hint of mushrooms and Cedar wood. Felt very powerful, almost miraculous, with green peppercorns giving a relatively spicy kick. There's a touch of dried pears, apple peelings, and a bit of earth, plus some orange zest and ginger. The aftertaste brings oranges again, a long finish, and a whisper of pipe tobacco. Overall it's an excellent one with loads of oomph and gold‑coloured warmth. 🥃

First thing that hits you is this big grassy, almost chlorophyll kick, like mowing the lawn at midnight 🌿. Then the oranges come rushing in – blood oranges and orange squash – with a real zesty punch. It's pretty rough at first, but then the chocolate and pipe tobacco settle in, all smooth and rich like Dalmore’s usual stuff. Midway, it gets really complex – white cherries, raspberries, dried pears, even some apple peelings. There’s a prickly heat from green peppercorns and less green spices than expected, more like soft spices and ginger. Earthy notes underfoot, with cedar wood and a touch of that cherry stem tea weirdness. Very powerful, this one, needs a splash of water to tame it down. The finish? Long and miraculous. Oranges again in the aftertaste, but less jammy fruits, more like a memory of Fanta and earth. Surprisingly, it swims like a champ, but that rough edge lingers. Works very well, though – a proper gold medal dram! 🥃

The first sip hits with a bold mix of white cherries and orange zests, quite complex to be fair. There's a prickly warmth from the ginger and green peppercorns, but it balances with soft spices and a hint of tea. The dried fruits and raspberries give it that jammy side, though not too fresh. Chocolate and pipe tobacco linger nicely, while the grassiness is bigger than expected but works very well. Oranges come back again in the aftertaste, which is long and smooth. Not too spicy overall, just enough kick. Feels like a miracle how all those fruits and Fanta-like sweetness blend with the earthy notes. Excellent one, really stood out. 🥃

Oof, this one’s a beast—needs water or it’ll bite ya 😅 First sip’s all sharp ginger and green peppercorns, like someone’s left a bag of fresh herbs in your dram. Then it mellows into this sticky gold mess of blood oranges and white cherries, almost like Fanta’s been poured over dried apple peelings. The spice kicks in proper too, not just soft cinnamon but something that lingers like a bonfire’s last embers. Cedar wood sneaks in behind, dry and proper, while the finish just won’t quit—chocolate and orange zests clinging on for ages. Bit rough around the edges at first, but bloody hell, it’s a miracle how it all comes together.

Blimey, this one’s a proper treat. It’s got this golden glow that catches the light, and the nose hits you with a mix of orange zest and something earthy, like mushrooms and cedar wood. First sip’s a bit rough, though – prickly, like green peppercorns and raspberries dancing on your tongue. There’s a big grassy note, maybe from the chlorophyll, and the ginger gives it a kick. It’s powerful, but not in a bad way, sort of like a bold tea with a twist of blood oranges. The soft spices balance out the bolder ones, and you get hints of apple peelings, dried pears, and white cherries. Chocolate lingers too, not too sweet, more like Dalmore’s usual dark stuff. The finish is long, with oranges popping up again and a touch of pipe tobacco. Needs a splash of water to tame it a bit, but even then, it’s got that oomph, that swims-like-a-champ quality. Proper complex, really – not your average dram.
