Right then, let’s have a proper nosing. 👃 First sniff – oh aye, that’s honeyed orchard fruits straight off. Stewed apples, a hint of pear drop sweeties, then this lovely waft of vanilla custard. No messin’ about. 👅 Sipping it neat now… ooft. Silky, almost chewy. That orchard fruit carries through but gets all dried now – think apple rings and a dusting of cinnamon. Then this brilliant thread of runny caramel and a wee touch of toasted oak comes creeping in. There’s a subtle spice too, like a whisper of nutmeg, nothin’ shouty. 💨 Letting it breathe a bit more, I’m getting a faint coastal brine note. Like a salted toffee 🍬 mixed with a handful of dried herbs from the garden. Maybe a smidge of that sweet, earthy malt at the core holdin’ it all together. The finish is a proper warm glow. Medium-long, with the spice fading gently and leaving behind a soft, almost oily nuttiness. Hazelnut spread on warm toast vibes. Leaves you wantin’ another dram right away. Dead comfy, like a favourite cardie. Lovely stuff. 🥃✨
