Right then, poured myself a dram and had a proper sit with it. Nose is a bit of a puzzle at first – got these lovely orange zests and some dried pear, but then there's this bigger grassiness, almost like crushed leaves. A hint of pipe tobacco and something earthy in there too. On the sip, it’s pretty powerful, I’ll say that. It really does need a drop of water to calm down a touch. There’s a real oomph, a bit prickly on the tongue, with ginger and some green peppercorns kicking in. The fruit comes through as white cherries and a bit of that cherry stem tea character. Swims like a champ, though. The aftertaste is where the oranges really show up again, lovely and long. Catches me off guard with a Fanta-like sweetness sometimes, then more like orange squash. And honestly, the more I have, the more I get these flashes of chocolate and raspberries. A cracking one to ponder over. 🍊✨

绿胡椒的辛辣开篇，转眼就变成干梨和橙汁汽水的甜。这酒劲道十足，像游泳冠军一样带劲，回味老长了。有巧克力、血橙，还有更多水果味：树莓、苹果皮，甚至管道烟草。草香越喝越浓，香料软软的但相对辛辣，雪松木和泥土感简直奇迹。真的得加水，不然橙子和樱桃梗茶的复杂劲儿出不来。酒色金黄，非常复杂，后味又是橙子。有点粗糙，像茶一样，不过确实是个好酒，刺舌中带点姜和芬达那种甜橙。🙂

Right, so this one poured a lovely gold colour. Got hit with green peppercorns and some pipe tobacco on the nose – there’s a bigger grassiness there, too. Tasted it neat first and crikey, it’s pretty rough and relatively spicy, prickly even. Really needs water to unlock it. Once a drop’s in, it works very well. The usual chocolate note comes through, but alongside many more fruits – dried pears, oranges, white cherries. It’s less fresh and ‘jammy’ fruits, more like cherry stem tea or orange squash. There’s ginger and soft spices there, and it’s very powerful. 🥃 The oomph is real. Further sips bring out cedar wood, earth, even mushrooms and a bit of chlorophyll – like damp tea leaves. Less green spices now. Swims like a champ through all these layers, honestly. Very complex, gets you thinking. An excellent one. 🤔😊

Gosh, this one hits you with a right proper whiff of oranges and a whole fruit bowl – maybe blood oranges, Fanta, even a bit of dried pear. Gets you salivating. In the mouth, it's got some real oomph! A bit prickly at first, kinda spicy – ginger and green peppercorns – before it mellows into softer, earthier notes. Think damp earth, a whiff of pipe tobacco, and surprisingly, mushroom? Definitely needs a splash of water; it opens up beautifully then. Less of that fresh, jammy fruit and more complex wood and tea vibes, like cedar and cherry stem tea. The finish is long, with the orange zest and that Dalmore-ish chocolate coming back through. It's a proper powerhouse, but it swims like a champ. A really excellent, complex drop. 👍

这酒是金色的，闻着有点扎嘴，带点柑橘和胡椒味。咂摸一下，味道一层层的，蘑菇、湿泥土的感觉混着芬达那种甜，还有樱桃茶的酸甜。草味挺重，像刚割过的草地，茶香和果皮味也出来了。巧克力味不明显，但尾调有点。喝下去在嘴里待很久，特别顺，Swims like a champ。不算特别冲，但有股姜的暖劲。整体劲儿不小，平衡得不错，就是没那么“果酱感”了。🌿
