Medium, pale straw in the glass. Feels quite green and raw at first — cider apples, white peach, grapefruit, a bit of gooseberry 🍏 There’s a chalky, clay-ish dryness too, with menthol and a wee peppery tail. Sweet and fruity, but still kinda sharp and aspirin-y at the end. Not too heavy, more fresh and brisk.

Quite chalky and a bit raw-green, like gooseberries, greengages and cider apples 🍏 Sweet barley sugar underneath, with white peach, grapefruit and fresh almonds. Finishes dry, peppery, menthol-ish… almost like aspirin and clay, but in a weirdly nice way. Not lush, more crisp and stripped-back.

Just having a quiet moment with this dram. Nose is right lovely—stewed apples, a good spoon of honey, and this wee whisper of candied ginger 🍯🍏. On the palate, it’s proper creamy. Caramelised pears, vanilla fudge, then a gentle oaky spice that sneaks up on ya. Bit of cracked black pepper, nutmeg. That warmth lingers, like a slow hug. Finish is decent—soft smoke, dark choclate, maybe a faint salty tang at the very end. It’s not shouty, just… comfy. A real sit-by-the-fire sort of siper 🔥🥃. Tiny drop of water opens it up nicely, brings out a touch of orange peel n biscuit. Proper cosy stuff, this.

oh this one's proper nice 👌 starts off really sweet, like honey and caramel, then you get these lovely fruit notes - apple, pear, maybe some dried fig? 🍐 the middle bit gets intersting, bit of cinnamon and nutmeg, touch of vanilla... creamy mouthfeel that just coats everythig finish is where it gets proper good though. Long and warming, slighty smoky, hints of leather and dark chocolate coming through 🍫 really well balanced overal, nothing too aggressive. Could easily drink this all night tbh 😊 not bad at all mate, not bad at all ✨

Ooh, this whisky's a bit of a beast, innit? Starts with a right smoky punch 🔥, then mellows into some sweet honey and vanilla. Got a hint of green apple too, quite refreshing. The finish is long and warming, like a cozy night by the fire. 😊👍 Sometimes the flavours dance around a bit, almost nutty or spicy. Definitely one to sip slowly. 🥃
