Right, let’s have a proper natter about this one. 🥃 Nose hits you straight off wi’ that honey’d orchard fruit—think baked apples n pears, bit of vanilla custard too. Then there’s a wiff of gentle oaky spice, almost like a cigar box lid left open. First sip? Oh aye, silkey smooth, literally coats yer whole gob. Toffee pennies, dried apricots, a wee touch of caramelised ginger—warming but not burny. The finish is where it shines tho. Soft, sweet smoke curls in, like bonfire embers, and this biscuity malt just sort of… lingers. Tiny prickle of black pepper right at the death. Cracking dram for a slow sipper by the fire. Might just pour another splash, y’know, for science. 🔥🥃
