First sip and boom — proper smoky peat hits you straight away 🔥 like standing next to a bonfire on the moors. Then this gorgeous wave of vanilla an toffee rolls in, almost butterscotch-like realy. Getting some lovely dark chocolate underneath, bit of dried fruit — raisins, dates maybe? The oak gives it a nice woody backbone, quite rich actualy. Mid-palate theres honey, a touch of cinnamon spice, even a wee bit of citrus zest keepin things fresh 🍊 Finish is long and smooth, that smokiness just lingers on forever. Creamy texture, almost buttery realy. Quite the complex dram this one init. The peat and the sweetness balance eachother out lovely 👌 Def one to savour slowly 🥃

Right, this whiskey's a bit different. Got a smoky start, but then these loevly fruity notes come through – think apples and pears. It's smooth on the palate, with a spic kick at the end. Really enjoyable, mate! 😊🥃

This whisky? Oh, it's got a right nice smokey edge, like a bonfire in the garden. Then there's a bit of sweet honey and maybe some vanilla. Quite smooth going down, really. A touch of fruity notes too, apples or pears. 🥃

Right, just poured a dram of this. 🥃 Nose is proper intense... peat smoke straight away, but there's sweetness underneath. Like honey and dried fruit 🍯. Palate warms you up quick. Spicy oak, maybe some cinnamon? Bit of heat on the tongue. Finish is long, smoky. Makes you wanna sit by the fire.🔥 Definitly need a drop of water to loosen it up though. Reckon it's a good un for a cold evening. 🧥 Cheers! 🍻
