Warm and malty, with a bit of honey, oak and gentle spice. Feels cosy on a chilly evening 🥃 Nice wee smoky touch at the end, not too heavy.

Right, just had a sip of this whisky – it's got a lovely smoky aroma, bit like a campfire after rain. 🔥 On the palate, there's a touch of honey and some dried fruits, maybe raisins. 🍯 The finish is smooth with a slight peppery kick. Really warming stuff! 🥃 Sometimes I get hints of vanilla and oak too. Enjoying it on a quiet evening. 😊

Nose: 🍯 Sweet toffee with a hint of vanilla, maybe some oaky notes too. Palate: Silky texture. I get caramel, a touch of spice 🔥, and some fruity zing – like baked apples. Quite warming. Finish: Medium length, with a gentle smoky fade. Really enjoyable. Would happily have another glass. 😄
