Blimey, this one's a real charmer. Poured a dram and it's got this lovely dark amber hue that catches the light. On the nose, I get a whiff of moss and tar, almost like walking through a damp forest, with a hint of freshly baked pumpernickel – that's unusual but in a good way. 🌲 Taking a sip, it's incredibly rich, thicker than most, and packs an incredible power. The flavors are heavy and unusual, with spearmint and menthol coming through, followed by a touch of coconut wine and some inoffensive patchouli that doesn't overwhelm. It's wonderfully mentholy, almost like a breath of fresh air. The finish is very long, leaving a trail of crème de menthe and eucalyptus that's almost refreshing. Overall, it's totally wonderful and quite a star in my book. Richer than rich, and very good indeed. 😊

Blimey, this one’s a proper dark amber in the glass, almost gloopy. Nose kicks off with a whack of varnish and a bit of tar, but then this wonderfully mentholy lift cuts right through it — like smashing notes of menthol cigarettes without the smoke. Sipped it… crikey, it’s richer than rich. Syrupy, almost. There’s liquorice in there, a weird twist of coconut wine sweetness, and a whisper of triple-sec orange that keeps it lively. Then this mossy, damp forest-floor thing sneaks in, with a drop of balsamic tang right on the edges. Finish just goes on, very long, all menthol and dark treacle. Quite a star, frankly.

Warm and mellow, a bit honeyed with soft oak and a wee smoky edge. Feels cosy, like a quiet night in by the fire 🥃✨ Slight spice at the end, pretty lovely tbh.

Warm and cosy dram 🥃 I’m getting vanilla, a bit of honey, soft oak and a wee smoky edge. Feels smooth, slightly spicy, with a nice sweet finish. Proper easy to sip.

Quite warm and malty, with a bit of honey, dried fruit and oak coming through. Slight spice at the end, but still easy enough to sip by the fire 🥃
