OMG this whisky is like... right? 😂 First sip got me like 🔥 boom! Carmel and honey everywhere, like sticky toffee pudding but liquid. Then woah, vanilla kicks in but not too sweet, more like... those posh French vanilla pods init? Smoke comes through after, but subtle like a distant bonfire on a chilly night. Some folks say it's peaty but I reckon it's just... smoky? Does that make sense? Also getting a bit of orange peel bitterness at the end, which is actually quite nice tbh. Smooth as butter though, no burn at 50% which is mad. Like velvet on the tongue, then that warmth spreads proper nice 👌 Final notes: dark chocolate, a hint of leather (fancy leather mind you, not like me old football boots), and something herbal? Dunno, maybe my palate's confused lol. But yeah, solid dram that is. Would defo have another.
