Right then, had a dram of this the other night and here's what I got: First thing that hits me is this lovely malty sweetness, like proper malted barley on a good day. Then there's this lemon cookie thing going on, reminds me of those lemon tarte bits you get at afternoon tea 🍰 Got a bit of coconut in there too, almost like a hint of Malibu on a summer holiday. Sweet vanilla fudge creeps in after, quite warming honestly. The middle bit's interesting - some gooseberry tartness, maybe a touch of green apple. Slightly acerbic but not in a bad way, just keeps it lively. There's something playful about it, like those prickly pear sweets from the pick 'n' mix 😄 Finishes with more of that malty goodness and a bit of cream gâteau vibe - no whipped cream though, just that proper cake sweetness. Overall it's a bit young but does the job nicely. Easy drinking stuff for a Wednesday evening 🥃

Well, poured a dram after work. Nose first: immediately got that sweet meringue and coconut, a bit like a dessert table. Then a hint of lemon zest. Tastes... interesting. Quite young, you can tell. First hits with green apples and lemons, a bit tart. Then some vanilla fudge and sweet barley come through, a touch of that Malibu-like coconut. There's a prickly pear sweets thing, and the malty note is strong, almost grassier towards the end. The body is medium, does the job. I'm getting Crème Egg filling? And maybe lemon cookies. The finish is slightly acerbic, no whipped cream softness here. It’s a bit like a Mezcal lollipop but with more barley. Not a complex thinking whisky, this. It’s more of a... cream gâteau with gooseberry and banana notes. Fine and drinkable for a casual glass. 🥃

Honestly, this one's got a real lemon tarte vibe at first - zesty, a bit sharp, like biting into something with gooseberry tartness. There's a prickly pear sweetness that comes through, reminds me of those fizzy sweets you get at pick 'n mix. Then it goes a bit weird in a good way? Like Malibu mixed with coconut balls, tropical but not in a holiday-cocktail way. The vanilla fudge and malty barley notes keep it grounded though, proper sweet and cereal-ish. It's clearly quite young - no whipped cream richness or anything mellow. Got that slightly acerbic kick, almost like a mezcal lollipop without the smoke. And weirdly I'm getting Crème Egg vibes on the finish, that fondant-y sweetness 🤷‍♂️ Not bad at all, just needs a bit more time maybe. Would still happily pour another glass on a Friday night.

闻起来有股奶油蛋糕似的甜香，混着点椰子糖和酸苹果的味道。 第一口有点冲，像含了颗柠檬糖，带点青涩的麦芽感。 中段会柔和些，隐约尝到熟透的香蕉和椰子软糖，但底下还是有点烈。 收尾意外地出现点薄荷似的清凉，有点像小时候吃的某种棒棒糖 🍭 整体感觉挺活泼的，虽然稍显年轻，但喝着不赖。

感觉这款有点年轻，青苹果和醋栗的酸味很明显，带着点草本清新感。🌿 让我想起些柠檬挞和酸掉牙的糖果，但麦芽糖的甜味慢慢出来了，像奶油蛋和香草软糖。🥥 嗯，有点椰子糖和Malibu的联想，但后段又变得麦芽感更重。整体像奶油蛋糕突然切换成柠檬曲奇，收尾带点白葡萄酒的锐利。😅
