Right, here we go… 🥃
Nose on this one’s like a warm slice of fruit cake left out in a wood shed. Bit of dried apple, maybe some sultana, and a whiff of old leather. Quite cosy, really.
Sip it slow… ooft, that’s got a wee prickle of spice up front 🌶️ — gentle though, not shouting. Then it goes all soft and oily, like honey on brown toast.
There’s a nutty thing happening, walnuts or somethin, and a faint whisper of smoke at the back. Not a bonfire, more like a candle just snuffed out.
Finish is surprisinly clean. Leaves a warm, peppery tingle on the tongue and a memory of orchard fruits. 🍎 Makes me wanna slouch in a chair and just breathe for a bit. Sound.
