Finish: Medium. Honeycomb, black tea, golden syrup, peaches, hints of leather. 

Comments: 

Well now. That slightly chalky vitamin C tablet note that was present in previous Eddus has mellowed and deepened, losing its chalkiness, and become much more like anise and orange juice. This is sweet and luscious, very enjoyable indeed.

I like this a lot.

Comments: 

Buckwheat whisky. It’s a distinctive grain, and so is the whisky, except that it doesn’t have much of the nutty buckwheat flavour. Instead it’s full of green fruits and fizzy vitamin C tablets, citrusy and bright.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
