First whiff... smoky peat 🍂, like a damp autumn bonfire. Taste: oh! Crisp green apple 🍏 with a hit of cinnamon spice. Finish lingers, kinda oaky and buttery. Warm! 🔥 Nice dram for a rainy afternoon. 😊

Right, finally got round to trying this. 🥃 Nose is smoky, proper peaty like a bonfire 🔥. Maybe a hint of apple underneath? 🍎 Taste is oily and thik. Sweet at first, like carmel, then the spice kicks in. Pepper and ginger maybe. Definetly warms the chest. Finish is long, bit dry but pleasant. Don't need ice for this one. Proper good dram for a rainy afternon. Would buy again reckon. 🍂 Cheers! 🍻
