cloudberry compass9 OctThe 60.9% ABV is a notable part of this whisky’s character on paper, though it doesn’t tell us by itself how the flavours come across. The tropical fruit is presented in especially rich, sweet forms, from pineapple cake on the nose to jammy preserves on the palate. Citrus and mild dryness in the long finish offer a welcome counterpoint to all that sweetness. It reads as a vivid, dessert-leaning profile, with enough contrast to keep it interesting.
tidepoolrambler6 SeptThis sounds like a very fruit-forward dram, with pineapple cake and mango sticky rice leading into creamy coconut and sweet cream. I like the contrast that comes through later: the finish keeps some floral sweetness, but mild dryness and subtle bitter chocolate give it a less sugary edge. It still sounds firmly on the rich, jammy side, so the fruit-and-syrup character may be the main draw here.
