Right, first sip… mmm, that’s proper lush. 🥃 Nose has a waft of honey’d orchard fruits, like baked apples with a cheeky bit of cinnamon singed on the edge. Almost like me nan’s crumble, but y’know, boozier. Palate’s soft, then a wee prickle of oak comes through — not too sharp, more like a warm spice cupboard. Caramel drizzle, maybe a flake of sea salt dark chocolate 🍫, but it melts into this creamy, malty biscuit vibe. Digestive biscuit dipped in tea, if the tea was 40% ABV. 😂 Finish lingers with a gentle peppery tingle and a ghost of dried pear. Leaves yer tongue feeling cozy, like you’ve just told a terrible pun and everyone groaned but secretly loved it. Bit of an oily texture, coats the mouth lovely. Bit of water opens it — suddently there’s this bonkers hit of vanilla fudge and toasted nuts. Almost slipped me mind, there was a tiny whiff of heathery smoke right at the back, like a distant campfire memory. Aye, crackin’ dram, that. Would happily nurse one on a drizzly Thursday. 🌧️🥃
