Right then, let's have a wee taste... 😌
Nose first: stewed orchard fruits, bit of toffee apple, maybe a whisper of woodsmoke. Not in yer face, gentle like.
On the palate? Ooft. Spiced honey, a touch of cinnamon, some dark choccy. Gets a bit peppery, warms the chest nicely. There's a wave of dried fruit - sultanas? - and just a hint of seasalt tingle.
Finish is medium, leaving a gentle glow, like the embers of a peat fire mixed with a sweet biscuity note. Not a sherry bomb, more... balanced. Aye, very sessionable. 🥃
Defo picking up some vanilla pod and a wee bit of nutmeg right at the back of the throat. Cheers!
