Wow, the nose on this is really pleasant – I'm thinking of Turkish delights and a bit of orange blossom water. Sipping it, there's something exotic with some mango jelly and drops of moscatel, then it gets into richer sherry and these jams that are still here, like apricot jam. Oh, and nougats! It's got notes of Jaffa cakes too, but more drying because of that cocoa powder. Various honeys come through, with lovely notes of homemade marmalade. Honestly, it's really better than I remembered from earlier vintages – a medium, pale amber dram that's really a hit in any household. I can taste old wine barrels and pastries, maybe some Smyrna raisins in there. 👍

Lovely wee dram 🥃 Feels warm and mellow, with a bit of honey, soft spice, and a cosy woody finish. Easy to sip, quite comforting on a chilly evening.

Right, first sip... get this lovely warmth straightaway, like a hug for your insides. 🥃 Bit of smoke, not too much, more like a bonfire in the distance. A nice sweetness comes through next, maybe some dried fruit? Reminds me of Christmas cake. Oak is there too, a bit woody. Dead nice, this. Later on, a little spice kicks in, just enough to keep things interesting. Could sit with this all evening. Smokey, fruity, and warming. Perfect. 👍🔥

First sip... creamy, like honey butterscotch 🥃 Then some pear drops and vanilla, maybe? Later on there's a spicy kick, ginger or cinnamon? Warms you right up 🔥 Finishes with a bit of smoky toast. Very moreish. Bit of fruit and oak linger on. Quite lovely, really. 😊
