Oof, alright, just had a sip. First thing hits me is this sweet, sort of honeyed vanilla thing, but then... woah, it gets proper spicy. Cinnamon, maybe a bit of clove. The nose is all toffee and a little bit of smoke, like a distant bonfire. Nice. In the mouth it's smooth but packs a punch. Got some dark fruit, raisins? Then this oaky, dry finish just lingers. Really warming, that. 🥃 A proper winter dram, this.

Aye, this dram’s got a lovely waft right away 👃 Stewed plums, a whisper of dark choc, and just a faint peaty reek curling round the edge. On the palate it’s proper oily, coats ya mouth in honey’d malt and a touch of charred oak. Then comes a wee spicy kick—gingersnap, a bit of black pepper. Finish hangs about, warm and a smidge herbal. Cracking stuff, that. 🥃🔥 Reckon it’d go down a treat on a dreich night.
