Lovely cosy dram 🥃 I get soft vanilla, a bit of baked apple, light spice and gentle oak. Feels warming, slightly sweet, with a wee peppery tingle at the end. Nice for a quiet evening.

Right then, tried this one last night and proper loved it 🥃 Get loads of honey and vanilla straight away, quite creamy on the tongue. There's a bit of peach in there too which was nice, wasn't expecting that tbh. Leather comes through later, gives it a proper grown-up feel. Oak's there obvs but not too heavy. Really smooth finish, lingers nicely. Very elegant imo 👌 8/10 for me, would definitely have again on a cold evening. Warm and comforting, just what you want 🍯

Okay, so trying this one. At first sniff, it’s quite… spicy? Like, not hot spicy, but… aromatic spices. Cinnamon maybe, nutmeg? Definitely some warmth coming through already. 🔥 Taking a sip… Hmm. It’s got a bit of a sharp kick upfront, then it mellows. Getting some sweet notes now. Something fruity, but not fresh fruit… more like stewed plums or raisins? And a sort of creamy, vanilla-ish thing underneath. Quite complex for a first taste. 🥃 The finish is interesting. There’s a lingering warmth, and I swear I’m getting a hint of smoke. Not like a bonfire, more like… smoked wood or maybe even a charred note. And something slightly nutty, like toasted almonds. The spices from the nose come back here too. It sticks around for a good while. Quite the experiance. 😋 Overall impression? It’s robust. Has layers. Starts bold, gets sweeter in the middle, and finishes with that smoky warmth. Would defs try this again on a cold evening. 👍

Blimey, this whisky's got a proper lovely hunny and smoky taste 🍯🔥 Fruity hints too, like ripe apples. Goes down smooth, innit? 😋

Alright this dram’s got a proper wild nose right off – vanillla, digestive bikkie 🍪, honey’d aple and a right oaky whiff. Sea salt caramal sneaks in too, bit of a new makey edge but in a good way. Palate hits with swete spice, biscit, rich butterscotch, coffee ☕ and a cheeky liqorice note. Mid-palate opens up with some red fruites, piney, a wisp of peat smoke 🔥 and a touch of fenolic air. There’s a wee ashy, burnt sugar thing goin on, but it stays soft. Finish is enorm long – apricot, mocha, a tang of orang peel, and gentle dry tannin that hangs about. Cracking dram, really 🥃.
