Bright and tropical straight away — lemon, mango, pineapple and loads of passion fruit 🥭🍍 There’s a wee blackcurrant tang and pink grapefruit sharpness, then a soft smoky wisp underneath. Feels juicy, sweet, a bit sherbet-y, with a musky fruit-sweets vibe. Very summery, honestly.

Quite a cosy dram 🥃 I get soft vanilla, a bit of dried fruit, gentle spice and a warm oaky finish. Feels mellow, slightly sweet, and nicely warming without being too heavy. Proper easy sipper, really.

Warm and a bit spicy, with honey, dried fruit and a soft oaky feel. Goes down nicely, wee bit of smoke at the end 🥃 Quite cosy, like something I’d sip on a chilly evening.

Quite a cosy dram, this. I get soft vanilla, a bit of honey, dried fruit and a gentle woody spice. There’s a wee touch of smoke too, but nothing shouty. Feels warm, smooth-ish, and easy to sit with on a cool evening 🥃 Finishes a little sweet, with oak and pepper hanging about.

Warm and a bit smoky, with honey, oak and a wee peppery kick. Feels cosy, like a rainy evening dram by the fire 🔥 Finish is dry-ish, gently sweet, and lingers nicely. Quite moreish tbh.
