Oh this one’s got a proper deep gold colour, like old amber. Smells like walking into a conifer forest after rain - fir buds and fern, that sort of green freshness. Wait, there’s something else... roasted figs? And a bit like honeydew you’d find on leaves. Very classic in its composition, really. On the palate it’s fruitier than expected, but with this lovely earthy undertone. Like forest floor and moss. Quite oily too, coats the glass. There’s a bitterness creeping in - not unpleasant, maybe like celeriac. And that oak! It’s there, a bit pronounced, almost dusty. Definitely shows its age in all its full glory, though. Finish brings back some honeys and a touch of pepper. Reminds me a little of chestnuts roasting. Quite the experience! 🌲🍯

Blimey, this one’s got character! 🥃 Pours a deep gold, like old honey mixed with a bit of chestnut. The nose is all forest floor – fern, fir buds, a touch of resinous sap. Then that hit of herbal bitterness comes through, almost like a red Italian amaro, but backed by a honeyed, fruity sweetness. Taste is incredibly oily, coats the mouth completely. There’s a surprising chilli oil warmth that builds, with black pepper right behind it. Underneath, I keep getting this dusty, woody vibe – feels like age in all its full glory. 🌿 A very classic composition, really. Subtle in some ways, but those honeys and the forest dew linger. Cheers to a proper dram.

Blimey, this whisky's got a right lovely vibe! 🥃 First off, a sweet vanilla kick, kinda like toffee, then a whiff of smokiness – not too heavy, just enuff. Got a bit of honey in there, smooth as silk. 🍯 Sometimes I taste a hint of fruity bits, maybe apple or summat, with a spicy undertone that lingers. Oaky too, like from a proper cask. Really enjoyable on a cold night! 😊 Oh, and it's got this warm, comforting feel – no harshness at all. Just pure bliss in a glass. Cheers! 🍻
