Honestly, this feels more like old dry oloroso than whisky at first 😄 Loads of mocha coffee, cocoa, raisins and blackberry jam, with a bit of chestnut purée. Quite leathery and savoury too, almost hammy in places, but still fresh somehow. No vanilla or coconut at all — more walnuts, sandalwood and a tiny pine cough-drop thing. Rich, dark, and proper sherried. 🥃

Lovely warm dram 🥃 I get soft vanilla, a bit of dried fruit, gentle spice and a wee smoky edge. Feels cosy, smooth-ish, with a nice oaky finish. Proper easy to sip on a chilly evening.

Right, so this one's got a proper smoky kick from the start 🔥... like a bonfire on the beach. Then you get this lovely sweetness coming through, honey and vanilla, maybe some dried fruit. It's got a bit of a spicy edge too, like cinnamon or clove, and a real nice weight in the mouth. Rich and smooth. Leaves you with this long, warming finish. A touch of dark chocolate and maybe some woody oak. Quite complex, innit? Really makes you think. 🥃 Leather and a bit of citrus peel lurking in there too. A proper winter dram, that's for sure. 👍

Ooh, blimey! This one's got a proper nose – think honey 🍯 and a touch of smoke, like a cozy fireplace. On the tounge, it's smooth with a bit of spice and oak, maybe some vanilla. Real moreish, that. Finish? Long and warming, like a hug in a glass. Cheers! 🥃 Hmm, I’m gettin’ hints of dried fruit too, perfect for sippin’ on a chilly evenin’. 😊

Well, first sip... like a bonfire night in autumn 🔥. That smokiness hits ya, but then comes this lovely honey sweetness 🍯. A bit of apple peel maybe? Gets me thinking of old leather books 📚. Finish is all warm and long, like a proper hug. Absolutely smashing!
