Nose: First hit of oak 🌳 and a bit of vanilla, like old books. Then some dried fruit comes through, raisins maybe. Palate: Smooth, a bit of honey 🍯 and some spice, cinnamon? Gets a lil’ smoky at the end, not a campfire, more like a distant candle. Finish: Medium. Leaves a warm, tingly feeling. Hints of dark chocolate 🍫 linger. Quite pleasant, really. Notes: Really grew on me. 👍

Nosed it and... ooh that's lovely 😍 Rich, smoky peat hit me straight away, then some sweet honey coming through. Little bit of vanilla there too, innit? Took a sip... wow. Proper warming, like sitting by a fire on a cold night 🔥 Got some dried fruit, maybe raisins? And a bit of chocolatey thing going on, very nice. Spicy kick at the end, maybe some ginger? Lingers for ages tbh. Can still taste it now 👌 Smooth as anything really. Not too harsh, just warming your chest up nicely. Love a good peaty dram on a saturday evening like this. Gets you in the mood for summat cozy 🥃 Would defo have another glass of this one. Reckon it'd be ace with a bit of dark chocolate on the side too
