Quite cosy, this one 🥃 Bit of honey, soft oak, dried fruit and a wee smoky edge. Feels warm and easy-going, with a lovley mellow finish. Nice for a quiet evening in.

Lovely cosy dram 🥃 I get warm honey, a bit of dried fruit, soft oak and a wee touch of spice. Smooth enough, with a gentle smoky finish that hangs about nicely. Quite comforting, really.

Nose was all vanilla & baked apple 🍎, bit of honey. Palate? Silky smoth, almost creamy. Touches of oak and a wee whisper of peat smoke... 🌫️ Not a sherry bomb, more gentle. Finish is warm spice, cinnamon & nutmeg, lingers soft. Honestly, a proper comfy dram. 🥃 Makes me think of a rainy evening by the fire. Might be my new favourite sipper.

Right, so this dram’s proper interesting 🥃. Nose gives you a sort of warm, spiced oakiness – like rummaging through an old wooden chest in autumn. On the palate, it’s got a lovely sweet kick, a bit like baked apples with cinnamon, but then it sorts of mellows out with a creamy, slightly nutty thing going on. Quite smooth, rly. Finish is medium-length, leaves you with a gentle warmth and a hint of dark chocolate, maybe some dried fruit. Very moreish. 😋 Wouldn’t say it’s too complex, just a solid, enjoyable pour on a cold evening. 👍

Got this dram from a mate last weekend, proper lovely stuff 🥃 First thing - big hit of smoke, like a bonfire but not overpowering init. Then comes this warm toffee vibe, bit like burnt caramel on a sticky toffee pudding 🍮 Fruit notes sneakin in after - orange peel, maybe some dried apricot? Defo gettin honey aswell, quite smooth actually Finish is proper long, peppery kick at the end with a hint of leather n dark chocolate 🍫 Nose: smoke, vanilla, bit of citrus Palate: toffee, honey, fruit, some oak Finish: spcey, warming, lingers nicely Would say its around 46-50% abv, deffo not a summer whisky tho lol. More of a sit by the fire on a cold evening kinda dram 🍂 Bit rough round the edges but in a good way if that makes sense? Charachter for days
