Poured this one neat after dinner – right away I got Spanish apple liqueur on the nose, though it fades a little after a while. First sip: big grapefruit tartness, then... bloody hell, lashings of ripe papaya come through? Works surprisingly well. Tried a splash of water – whole thing shifts sweetly towards candied treats and apples. There's a faint nod to mezcal (that smoky edge?) and a subtle edge of pepper on the finish. Oddly, fresh rubber pops up mid-palate, like new tyres for Tesla... but then citron and bitter almonds balance it. Sweet wine cask influence lingers. Finish is long and fairly sweet. Admirable young Glen Spey – a splendid surprise! Hurrah for happy accidents 🥃

Lovely fruity dram 🍏 Fresh apples, citron and grapefruit up front, then a sweet turn into papaya and candied bits. A wee splash of water brings out straw, fresh rubber and just a tiny smoky-mezcal wink. Sweet, bright, a bit quirky — rather delightful. 🥃

Bit warm and cosy, with soft fruit, a wee touch of spice, and some oaky sweetness. Feels easygoing, kinda comforting 🥃✨ Finish is gentle, slightly dry, but pleasant.

Lovely cosy dram 🥃 I get soft vanilla, a bit of honey, gentle oak and a wee touch of spice. Feels warm, smooth-ish, with a sweet, slightly smoky finish. Quite comforting on a chilly evening 😊
