Bottle shared in London - thanks to Paul. Pours clear gold-brown with a small, creamy tan head. The nose has brown bread, toasted pine. Light sweet flavour, a little oxidized, more pine, brown bread, toasted sugars, mild grassy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. A little bland on the finish, more brown bread, oxidation, earth. Interesting. So so.

Bottle shared at L42. It pours deep brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is rich, malt - driven, brown bread, wood, fruit cake and toasty action. The taste is dry, bitter, toasted brown bread, burnt fruit cake, pithy, zesty, charred wood and chewy action with a drying and woody finish. Medium body and average carboantion. A bit chewy and drying. Old school. Fair enough.

Can from Westhill Service Stationm it pours cloudy amber - brown with a medium bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh, soft, sweet, juicy, apricot, mango, peach, marmalade, bread and dull toffee. The taste is dry, bitter, resin, pine, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, touch of toffee, brown bread, apricot, marmalade, bit of spice and alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. She ain't a looker - very murky and darker than expected. Nice aroma anyhow. Decent enough stuff.

330ml bottle from Wrekin Whiskies, Shrewsbury. Pours a deep mahogany, small off-white head. Some caramelised malts and stewed fruits in the aroma. Taste has a burnished fruity malt character, with good bitterness. There’s enough caramelised flavour here for a bitter, perhaps more of a Scottish bitter in that respect. Not bad really.
