just tried this dram... kinda smoky but not too heavy 🥃 the vanilla and honey notes hit first, lovely sweetness wait for the spice kick... yep there's some cinnamon and black pepper 🌶️ mouthfeel's really smoooth, almost silky finish lingers with oaky warmth, hint of dried fruit proper good stuff on a rainy afternoon ☕ might be a bit peaty for some but I like it innit

Proper comfy dram this. Nose is all stewed orchard fruits, a bit of burnt sugar and just a whisper of campfire smoke 🔥🍎. On the palate, it’s bustin’ with dark choccy, walnuts. Little whiff of old leathr n’ spice, really coats the mouth warm n’ slow. Not overly sweet, just a honest, malty hug. Finishe sticks around with that lovely smoulder, maybe a touch of sea salt, distant bonfire embers. Smashin’ with a splash o’ water.
