Blimey, this one's got a proper smoky nose, like standing next to a campfire in Wales. 🔥 First taste, you get this peaty kick – aye, it's like licking wet rocks on a rainy day, if that makes sense. 🌧️ Then there's a sweet fruity bit, maybe some stewed apples or ripe pears? 🍐 And a hint of vanilla, lovely an' smooth. 😋 Finish is a bit spicy, leaves a warm glow in yer chest. Proper belter, this is. 👍 A wee bit o' oak too, I reckon. 🌳

Alright, just had a dram of this. 🥃 Smells proper warm, like dried fruit and a hint of smoke 🔥. Taste is smooth at first then gets a bit spicy on the back of the throat. Its realy nice. Finish lingers nicely, sweet but not too much. 🍯 Cant quite put my finger on all the flavours but its a goodun for a quiet night in. 🌧️ Cheers! 🍻
