Blimey, this one's a real treat 🍸! Got a right salty kick to it, like a seaside breeze on a cold day. It's really potent, so be careful not to overdo it, yeah? There's a bit of a coastal vibe goin' on, with some lovely briny notes that just keep comin' at ya like an avalanche, haha! Not too sour or lemony, which is a nice change of pace. And then, out of nowhere, it's like a little fruit salad in your mouth - touches of mangos and whatnot. Proper nice, if I do say so meself 😊. Not a rounded whisky, per se, but it's got its own charm. Changes direction on ya, keeps things interestin'. Bit of a metal polish thing goin' on, too, which is a bit weird, but I kinda like it, y'know? All in all, it's a crackin' good dram, if a bit salty 🍸. Cheers, mate! 🍻

Got a quick splash and it hit with a briny avalanche, like a tide rushing straight to your palate 😏. A touch of mango pops midway, then a hint of lemon that fades into a clean, almost metallic polish, giving it that coastal edge. The smoked almond undertow is subtle but memorable, keeping the whole thing sharp and very long. It’s not round at all, rather a long, powerful wave that ends clear and still a bit salt‑sprayed 🌊🍋🍃

Popped open this bottle after a Sunday coastal walk the other day 🥃 First sip has that little extra fruit kick right up front, even got distinct mango notes pocking through, plus a zingy lemony tang to start. Then it shifts straight into that super briny, salty coastal vibe, all white wine crispness and smoked almonds lingering, even a faint odd whiff of metal polish at the very start cos it’s really potent. The finish drags on forever, super long and salty, and it changes direction so much mid-palate it’s not as rounded as most of the other island drams I’ve had lately, gives off that familiar coastal feel just like the others, honestly so fun for a casual evening glass without overthinking it 😂

Smoked almonds hit straight away, then a splash of white wine. No roundness here, just a sharp, briny wave 🌊 Lemony notes? Less so, more like coastal breeze with a salty twist Fruits in the attack – mango touches, sweet but not cloying Changes direction mid-sip, then an avalanche of briny and metal polish Really potent, but somehow balanced Great ultra-clean finish, long and lingering Feels like the OB but with its own twist Salty, briny, and a bit of a punch – just like the others, but different 🥭👃

This dram hits you with an avalanche of briny right off the bat, like a gust of sea air mixed with a splash of white wine. There’s this sharp, lemony kick at first – not too sour, mind – but then it shifts, and suddenly you’re getting these sweet touches of mango and a nutty, smoked almond thing going on. It’s proper potent, leaves a lingering warmth that’s both salty and coastal, like licking a rock by the shore. The finish is really long, with hints of metal polish and this clean, almost mineral edge that sets it apart from the usual peaty suspects. Not your typical round whisky, this one’s got layers – changes direction the whole way through. Definitely memorable, in a “what the hell was that?” sort of way. 🥃
