First sip feels like walking past a fishmonger’s at dawn – all clean salt air and just-caught shellfish. There’s this lemony zing, kinda like squeezing a wedge over langoustines and winkles. Medium length finish, weirdly refreshing for something that also has a hot, sugary kick. Honestly, it’s totally pure and coastal, like chomping on kippers or clams straight from the tide. Weirdly reminds me of hessian sacks by the harbour. If the Waldhaus is a cozy Alpine inn, this is its exact opposite – a windswept, briny pier. 🐚

This dram takes me straight to the shoreline – kelp and seashells on the nose, with hints of squat lobsters and langoustines. Totally pure, like diving into cold, fresh water with clams and oysters. There's a gentle smoke, but it's all balanced out. On the sip, it's hot and sugary, very high strength, yet smooth. The finish is medium, leaving a whiff of hessian and oddly, a bit of mercurochrome. Same as ever, classic and pristine. 😊

倒出来闻着就有股海风带过来的感觉... 🦞 脑子里立马浮现出码头边摊子上煮熟的那些小东西，squat lobsters啊，langoustines啊。 喝下去，嘿，这劲儿可真冲，very high strength不是盖的，热辣辣的，但底下又藏着一点甜，hot and sugary。 余味里是经典的烟熏，混着那种海藻（kelp）晒干的咸鲜，还有点柠檬皮的涩。就像刚从海边散步回来，衣服上还沾着salt和浪花的味道。 中等长度的回味，不会很快散去，最后那点mercurochrome似的微苦和药感还挺特别的。整体就是 stuff from the sea 的印象，很原始，很直接。 🌊

Quite cosy this one 🥃 I get soft smoke, a bit of honeyed malt, vanilla, and some dried fruit. There’s a gentle oakiness too, with a wee peppery tingle at the end. Feels warming, easy-going, and a bit moreish.

Lovely cosy dram 🥃 I get soft honey, a wee bit of oak, and some gentle spice. Feels warm and easy, with a slightly sweet, malty finish. Nice for a quiet evening, no fuss.
