Alright, got a nice dram here 🥃
First whiff - deffo gettin' some citrus and a bit of vanilla sweetness. There's a subtle smokiness creepin' in, not too heavy like. Quite floral actually, reminded me of heather on a moor.
Taste wise... mmm, lovely honey notes with a touch of caramel. Bit of oak comin' through, and somethin' creamy - like butterscotch maybe? 🍯 A gentle warmth builds up, quite smooth on the tongue.
The finish is where it gets interesting tho - there's a mild spice, a hint of fruit... pear perhaps, and a dry, slightly nutty endin'. Rather moreish if I'm honest 😊
One thing I noticed is there's a light peaty character underneath, not overwhelmin' at all. Adds a nice depth like. And there's this faint leathery quality that develops as you sip.
Overall it's quite balanced - not too sweet, not too dry. The kind of whisky you'd enjoy on a cold evenin' with a good book. 📚
Would say it's got a medium body, very approachable. Even if you're not usually into whisky, this wouldn't put you off. Quite pleasant really! 👍
