Right, so this dram… 🥃 Nose is pure stewed orchard fruit straight off, like baked apples with a crack of black pepper, then this drift of woodsmoke and just a whisper of heather honey. Takes me back to a bonfire after a drizzly walk. 🌧️🔥 On the pallate, whoah. Oily and warming—starts wi’ a sudden flush of sultana and dark toffee, then the peat creeps in, not shouting, more like a damp campfire. Mid-pouint there’s this sappy, almost piney spike, then it smooths out intae a salted caramel vibe. Touch of clove, maybe cardamom. Finish hangs aroond for ages, a dry, smoky ember wi’ a late kiss of seaside brine and a tiny echo of spearmint. Lips are still tinglin’. A proper fireside smmer. Smashing. 👌✨
