Lovely wee dram 🥃 Warm, oaky and a bit honeyed, with a gentle smoky nudge. Feels cosy rather than heavy, and the finish hangs about nicely. bit of spice too.

Oh this one's proper moorish! 🍯 First sip is all butterscotch and vanilla, like a caramel shortbread but liquid. Then comes this warm, spicy kick – cinnamon maybe? 🌶️ Reminds me of sitting by the fireplace after a rainy walk. The smokiness is there but subtle, like distant bonfires on a autumn night. Definitely get some dried fruits too, raisins or sultanas? 🍇 Almost christmassy, innit. There's this lovely honeyed sweetness that lingers, really coats your tongue. Has that proper "oomph" to it though – warms you right through from the chest up. Not too harsh though, just well-balanced. Find meself sniffing the glass between sips, lots going on there too! 🥃

Just tried this whisky – nose is a bit smokey and spicy, with some fruitie notes and oaky hints. 🥃 Palate: Rich choclty and vanila flavours come through, balanced with a citrusy kick. Quite complex! Finish is long and warming, touches of honey sweetness. Really enjoyable stuff. 😊 Sometimes got a bit of an earthy thing going on too, but in a good way. 👍

Nose: A real punch of smoke and peat right off. 🌫️ Kinda earthy, ya know? Palate: Gets a bit sweeter – think dried fruit and a touch of honey. 🍯 Maybe some oak in there too. Finish: Spicy kick that lingers. Warming stuff for sure. 🔥 Oh, and a slight citrus note pops up if you sip slow. 🍊 Not bad at all!
