Right then, had a dram last night that was proper lovely. 🥃
First off, the nose is all malty sweetness, like honey on toast, with a touch of leather and a whiff of vanilla. 👃
Taste-wise, it's got a nice weight – not too heavy, mind – with those stewed dried fruits coming through, some oaky spice, and a smidge of smoke that's more like a distant bonfire than a peat monster. 🔥
Finish is warming, a bit spicy, and lingers nicely with a hint of dark chocolate. A cracking after-dinner sipper, that.
Would pair a treat with a slice of fruitcake, I reckon. Cermaic mug of tea optional, but recommended.
