Ooh that's a proper dram init 😌 First thing that hits me is this lovely smokiness, not too aggressive like, more like a gentle campfire on the nose. Then there's all these fruity notes - bit of apple, some pear maybe, and a wee touch of citrus coming through 🍎🍐 The honey and toffee sweetness is gorgeos honestly, really well balanced with a bit of spice. Getting some cinnamon and ginger, maybe a hint of nutmeg? The vanilla's there too, kinda creamy like 🍯 What I really love is how the leather and oak come in on the finish, makes it feel proper mature and complex. There's this subtle floral thing happening aswell which is quite nise actually. Mouthfeel is dead smooth, rich and warm without being heavy. Nice dry finish that lingers just enogh 👌 Honestly reminds me abit of sitting by the fire on a cold winter evening, just perfect for a quiet dram after work. The sherry influence gives it this lovely dark sweetness that ties evrything together really nicely. Would defs reach for this one again 🥃✨
