Nose is a punch of smokiness 🔥, very peaty like a bonfire. But then comes through some vanilla and maybe a touch of honey 🍯. On the palate, it's surprisingly fruity, get some apple and pear 🍐. Then a wave of cinnamon and a bit of clove spice. Quite rich and complex. The finish is long, very long. Lingers with that oakiness and a bit of dark chocolate 🍫. Really warms you up. Loads going on in this one. Smokey yet sweet, fruity then spicy. A proper sit-down dram. 👍

Ahh, that first whiff – proper smoky, innit? Like a bonfire in teh distance. Then you get this lovely sweetness, sort of fruity or maybe a bit of vanilla. Quite warming, really. 😊 On a cold night, it's just the ticket. 🥃 A bit of peat comes through too, I reckon. Makes me think of the Scottish isles. Rather comforting, if you ask me. 💨 And there's a hint of spice at the end, not too strong. Just enough to linger. Lovely stuff.
