Right, so this one's got quite a interesting profile actually 😊 Rich malty sweetness, hints of honey and butterscotch... then you get this lovely vanilla oakyness coming through. A bit of citrus freshness too 🍋 The smokyness is there but not overpowering, nice and gentle like. There's deffo some dark chocolate notes lurking in the backround, maybe a touch of spice aswell 🌶️ Finish is warm and smooth, with the peat and caramel lingerin nicely. Quite moreish tbh 🥃✨

Blimey, this one's a bit of a mystery innit? Tasted it last night and it started wi' a proper smoky kick, like burnt wood or summat. Then got all sweet wi' toffee and a hint of citrus, maybe orange? Really warmed me up on a cold evening. 🥃 After a while, noticed some spice—ginger or cinnamon—lingering at the back. Quite smooth overall, not too harsh. Made me think of autumn walks. 🍂 There’s a slight floral note too, like flowers or summink, which is nice. But yeah, definitely a good dram for chillin’. Just gotta savour it slow, like. 😊
