Alright, so first impression? It's a right proper noseful, that's for sure. 👃
Get a lovely whiff of... 🔥, like a bonfire on a crisp night. Then there's some fruit in there, maybe bruised apples and a bit of orange peel. Oh, and a creamy note, like vanilla fudge.
Taking a sip... it's got a good weight to it, coats the tongue. Immediate taste is that smokiness again, but now it's joined by something sweet – honey, maybe toffee. There's a nice spicy kick too, like a bit of ginger or cinnamon.
The finish is where it really lingers. Long and warming, with that smoke fading into a dry, almost woody note. Leaving me with a feeling of, "Yeah, that'll do nicely." A proper winter dram. 🥃
