Just had a dram that’s proper lively, like a cheeky young dram. Starts off sweet with a hint of vanilla fudge and coconut, reminds me of them coconut balls you get at seaside shops. Then there’s this sharp, tart kick—like biting into a Lemon Tarte or sucking on a mezcal lollipop, makes your mouth water a bit. The malt’s there, all sweet barley and malted barley, but not too heavy, sort of medium-bodied. Finish’s got that grassy, almost white wine tang, with a whiff of gooseberry and green apples. No whipped cream business here, just clean and crisp. Feels like a proper spring evening in a glass, if that makes sense. Fine stuff, does the job nicely.

Just popped this one open. Straight away you get this lovely malty vibe, like proper barley sugar sweets 🌾 And there's a green apple crispness that makes it feel quite fresh, almost playful. It's got that young, lively character – not trying too hard, just does the job nicely. Creamy vanilla fudge comes through, with lemons and a hint of white wine tartness. Reminds me a bit of lemon meringue pie or a cream gâteau, honestly. 🍋 Then there's this tropical twist – coconut, maybe a bit like Malibu in a good way? And bananas, ripe ones. The finish has that grassier note and prickly pear sweets, slightly prickly in a fun way. Very moreish. 😊

First sip gives a sharp lemon tarte kick, like biting into a lemon cookie that’s still a bit tart but sweet. Then it eases into a creamy gâteau feel with a touch of coconut and a whisper of green apple. There’s a grassy, malted‑barley backbone that feels like a quiet meadow in the evening, and a faint bite of acerbic Mezcal lollipops that adds a cheeky twist. The whole thing is medium‑bodied, fairly young, and reminds me of a sunny afternoon with a dash of banana and prickly‑pear sweetness. 🍋🍌

Honestly, this one’s a bit young and sharp, but not in a bad way. 🍋 First sip hits with tart gooseberry and lemon cookies, then it softens into sweeter notes of vanilla fudge and sweet barley. There’s definitely a Malibu coconut vibe going on, and something like Crème Egg or cream gâteau in there too—though it misses the whipped cream topping. 🌿 It’s grassier and has that malty backbone, maybe even a touch of prickly pear sweets. Some acerbic green apple cuts through the sweetness. It’s a lively, tarter dram that does the job on a sunny afternoon. 🍏 Coconuts and lemons linger.
