Oi, right, so first off – the smell is like walking into an old library that’s got a wee bit of damp. There’s this dusty book, oak shelf sort of vibe, but then… wham! 🍊 A burst of marmalade, really zesty, cuts through it. Quite nice, that. Taking a sip… *cough* Blimey, bit of a kick at first! But then it mellows. It’s like… you know when you have a proper cuppa tea that’s steeped a bit long? That tannin thing. Mixed with some brown sugar, maybe a bit of dried fruit – figs? Slightly woody too, like chewing on a twig, but in a good way. 👍 The finish lingers, innit. Warm, right down the throat. Leaves a bit of a peppery spice, and a memory of that orange peel from the start. Drys out your mouth a bit, makes you want another sip. Definitely not a shy one. Pretty solid dram, that. 😊
