right then, here’s the thing with this dram… 🥃
nosing it, straight away get a waft of honey’d orchard fruit, like a bowl of stewed apples left to cool on a windowsill, dusted with a bit of cinnamon and a whisper of vanilla pod 🍎🍯 not shouty, just soft and proper inviting.
on the gob… blimey, it’s more complex than it lets on at first sniff. there’s a lovely oiliness, almost waxy, then it blooms into dried apricots, a little hint of nutmeg, and this gentle, almost floral peat that hangs about but never bullies. not a smoke bomb, mind — more like a campfire ember glowing in the next room 🔥🌼
the finish is where it really sings. long and warming, with this delicate spice that tingle on the tongue ages after you’ve swallowed. a bit of dark toffee, a ghost of oaky dryness, and then it just sort of sighs and fades into something softly peppery and faintly herbal. leaves you wantin anuvver sip straight away.
cheers, a crackin drop that. silky, layered, and just the right side of interesting.
