Sipped it and felt like I’d stepped onto a damp seashore after rain – that sharp, tangy coastal bite on the first sip, then a thick, almost viscerally waxy coating that lingers. The peat is there, but not heavy; it’s more like soft flashes of smoke mixing with a little herbal camphor and a hint of tar. There’s a subtle, almost buttery sweetness that drifts up, almost beery, and just a touch of oilier, rag‑like richness. The finish is dry but elegantly mineral, with a faint chalk of chiselled stone and a whisper of sea salt. It feels powerful yet understated, like a quiet, underrated track that actually hits. Just puts the kettle on for a few more rounds. 🍻

Just opened a huge dram, mate, and the peat hits you like a ghostly veil – it’s elusive, ethereal and soot‑smoked, with a sweet lemon peel that zings. There’s this waxy, oily mouthfeel that’s superbly mouth‑coating, layered with herbal wax, honey and a sharp coastal tang, plus a hint of pine resin and camphor that feels totally thrilling. The finish is long, thick and waxy, with a mineral edge that’s kinda salty and earthy, like damp greenery after rain 🌿. Yeah, proper brilliant 😊

This dram hits you with a proper punch – a huge whisky that’s both powerfully sweet and lightly sooty, like licking a medicinal spoon dipped in honey. The nose is all damp greenery and petrichor, hints of canvas and tar intertwining with a sharply tangy coastal zip. On the tongue, it’s thick and profoundly waxy, that farmyard quality undulating through every sip – think fattier, oilier textures clinging to your cheeks like an old oily rag. The peat’s elusive and ethereal, soft flashes of smoke dancing with notes of polish and chiselled minerals, almost beery in its breadth. There’s a visceral waxiness here that’s just thrilling, layered with putty-like depth and a petrolic mineral kick. Lemon peel and a salted mead sweetness cut through, while camphor and coal embers smoulder in the background. It’s brilliantly herbal, bandages and anthracite embers weaving into something complex and long-lasting. The finish? Gold and seashore aspects lingering, with a gentle freshness of earth that makes you grin. Proper complex, this – a proper dram. 🥃✨

Mate, this dram hits with this devilish mentholy vibe, super fresh but totally precise, kind of like walking on the beach with a tarry breeze about. Got this raw wool and old hessian thing going, proper earthy, but then it flips to Chinese green tea and chen-pi, proper luminous twist. Bit cough syrup and coffee dregs lurking—you know, like the finish on a curry night. Heavily salted liquorice just wham, along with embrocations, really focused but not over the top. Love how it balances all that, feels almost chiselled and coherent. Not gonna lie, one of those that keeps revealing itself, long after that first fill bourbon whiff.

This dram hits you with a proper wallop – big, bold, and proper complex. The peat’s there, but not in your face; it’s kind of elusive and ethereal, like a whisper of smoke from a distant bonfire. There’s this drying, herbal peat thing going on, mixed with a farmyard depth that’s undulating and wonderfully fat – reminds me of a muddy field after rain. Nose-wise, it’s all about damp greenery and a hint of petrichor, with a medicinal edge – think old bandages and camphor. The palate’s got this viscerally waxy texture, thick and profound, coating the mouth superbly. Notes of salted mead and seashore aspects dance with the medium peated smoke, while a petrolic mineral note and chiselled minerals add a sharp, tangy coastal bite. It’s a bit sooty, but in a good way – more sooty smokiness that’s almost meaty, and the finish is long, layered, and thrilling. There’s a gentleness to it too, like the freshness of earth, but also power – anthracite embers and a whisper of coal embers linger. Waxy undertones and herbal waxes keep it interesting, and the whole thing feels broader, fatter, and oilier as it sits. Proper underrated stuff, this one. 🥃✨
