Right, so poured myself a dram of this stuff. First sniff is proper malty, like fresh bread crust, with a bit of that sweet sawdust smell. Getting some dried apricot too, if I'm honest. 🥃 Took a sip. Bloody hell, it's got some heat at the front, but then it mellows out. There's a strong note of... stewed apple? And maybe a hint of orange peel. Quite chewy mouthfeel. 👅 Let it sit with a drop of water. Opens up a bit more. Now I'm getting more floral notes, like heather honey. The finish is long, a bit peppery, and leaves you with this warm, woody aftertaste. Proper stuff for a cold evening. 🔥
