Just had a sip and honestly, it's a cracking dram. The colour's a lovely gold, and there's barely any port influence, which suits me fine. First taste, I get this raspberry jelly thing – but done all refined, nothing over the top. Then, wham-bam, the peat jumps out with fresh orange and lime juice, really refreshing. There's also this odd "clean" manure note, if that makes sense, and a hint of bitter oranges right at the end. Reminds me of a peated whisky I tried a while back that was absolutely brilliant. Works great as a casual tipple. 🥃

Lovely warm sip 🥃 Bit of honey, oak and soft spice, with a cosy smoky edge. Feels smooth, mellow, and proper nice on a quiet evening. Slightly sweet finish, not too heavy.

Oh blimey, this whisky's got a real earthy nose with a hint of honey 🍯. On the palate, it's a bit spicy and smokey – reminds me of a bonfire night. Finish is long and warming, just love it! 🥃 Sometimes I get a tiny bit of fruitiness too. Proper good stuff.

Right then, had a wee dram last night and here's what I got... 🥃 Nose - immediately hit w/ this lovely honey and vanilla sweetness, maybe a touch of citrus? Reminded me of walking past a bakery tbh Palate - oh blimey, quite smooth init. Getting some toffee and a bit of malt, maybe a hint of dried fruit like raisins or summat. There's a subtle spice that creeps in, nothing too agressive though Finish - medium length I'd say, leaves this warm oaky sort of thing and slight smoke if you pay atention 🤔 Overall pretty cremy mouthfeel, defo one for sippin on a cold evening by the fire innit. Would pair well w/ a bit of dark chocolate I reckon 🍫 Not bad at all mate, solid 7/10 from me 👍

Aye, this one’s got a real comfy nose… honey’d oats, a whisper of bonfire smoke, and a wee bit of orchard fruit stewin’ in the back. Sip’s soft — like caramelised brown sugar, some dark toffee, with a slow buildin’ warmth that wraps round yer chest. Finish hangs about, gentle peaty hum and a touch of cinamon spice. 🍯🔥 Proper sit-by-the-fire stuff. 🥃
