Cracking dram, this one! 🥃 Woody notes hit first, then... sorta caramelish sweetness? Maybe a hint of smoke curling round the back, like a bonfire in autumn. 👀 Mouthfeel’s proper silky, no burn—just warm, innit. Hints of... dried fruit? Dates or sommat. 😋 Finish lingers ages, gentle spice tingle. Lovely for a slow sipper. Cheers! 🍂

Right so this one's proper interesting init 🥃 On the nose you're gettin this lovely warm honey thing, bit of vanilla too Taste wise it's quite smooth, not harsh at all - kinda like burnt toffee maybe? Some spicyness creeping in but in a good way 👌 Finish is longer than expected, nice warmth going down. Bit of oakyness lingers there Honestly quite well balanced overall, easy drinker that one Would defo have another dram on a cold evening like 🫠 Only complaint is it's a bit pricey for what it is but hey ho
