Just had this new dram, quite the experience! 🥃
On the nose, got a real hit of heather honey, like walking on the moors. And then something malty, sort of bready, with a bit of damp earth after rain. 🌧️
Taste-wise, it’s a bit of a journey. First wave is that warm, spicy kick – think cinnamon and maybe clove? Then it mellows into stewed apple and something nutty, like toasted almond. The smoke comes through last, not like a bonfire, more like a distant campfire. 🔥
Mouthfeel is lovely, really smooth and almost oily. Leaves you with a long, warm finish, a bit of dark chocolate and dried fruit. Proper autumn in a glass. 🍂
A bit of water opens it up even more, brings out a floral note I missed. Very enjoyable, right balance between sweet and smoky. 👍
